I Won't Gamble With Your Love Lyrics - Patty Loveless

I've taken a lot of chances 

I've drawn to a lot of bad cards 

There was nothin' I minded losing 

So I never took losing to hard 

Well since I won your love 

I guess, I've changed my ways 

There's a lot of games in this old town 

But there's one I no longer play 

I won't gamble with your love 

I don't care to risk that much 

One thing you can be sure of 

I won't gamble with your love 

How many times did I play for seven 

When I gave those dice a roll 

I know all of my prayers were answered 

Sometimes yes, but a lot of times no 

Now I know all I was after 

Could be mine forever more 

There are no other pleasures 

I would trade my treasures for 

I won't gamble with your love 

I don't care to risk that much 

One thing you can be sure of 

I won't gamble with your love 

These boys they come around 

Say, "Baby take a chance on me" 

I say, "No", they say, "Why not?" 

Tell 'um, "I'm pretty happy with what I got 

Anything else would be another long shot" 

I won't gamble with your love 

I don't care to risk that much 

One thing you can be sure of 

I won't gamble with your love 

I won't gamble with your love
