Loudon Wainwright Iii Much Better Bets
I lost again - it wasn't fun
Gambled in love - I've never won
I took a chance, I played and lost
I'll check the damage now, I'll count the cost
It feels so good when we begin
You think for sure this time I'll win
And for awhile it's all good news
Till the lock turns and you lose
I'll stay alone a little while
Until I'm snared by somebody's smile
A look, a laugh, a little blush
You spring a leak it's such rush
I don't who the hell I am
But I've always know true love's just a scam
No wonder people end up with pets
Animals are much better bets
