You Bet Your Life

You bet your life that he would love you more than I would.
You bet your life that you’d be happier with him.
You played the odds that he could give you more than I could.
I tried and tried to help you see those odds were slim.

I can play again tomorrow if you deal me in.
I can raise the stakes that I'll be there for good.
I can give you all the love you ever wanted.
And would I make you glad you had me? Yes I would.
You bet your life.

You bet your life that you could get along without me.
You bet your life that I could live without you too.
You called my stupid bluff, and then you upped the ante.
Our home can never be a full house without you.

I can play again tomorrow if you deal me in.
I can raise the stakes that I'll be there for good.
I can give you all the love you ever wanted.
And would I make you glad you had me? Yes I would.
You bet your life.

If you go all in on one hand you might lose it
If you let me play my cards right, then deal me in
Don't risk all your fortune on this one game
If you take a chance on me we both can win.

I can play again tomorrow if you deal me in.
I can raise the stakes that I'll be there for good.
I can give you all the love you ever wanted.
And would I make you glad you had me? Yes I would.
You bet your life.
