Gamble On Romance by John Speckine

Music & Lyrics ©1987 by John Speckine

I'm sorry if I came on just a little bit too strong
I'm sorry if the things I've tried to tell you came out wrong
I'm sorry I don't have the time to take it nice and slow
But I wanted you to know some things about me before I go

I'm not the perfect man - I wouldn't tell that lie
But I would do my best to make you happy 'til I die
I know you think that I have jumped a little bit too fast
But you're the very first girl who's made me forget the past

CHORUS:
And so, I want to fall in love again
I want to be somebody's life, somebody's only man
Livin' life alone ain't livin', so I'll take the chance
To trust my feelings one more time
I'll gamble on romance

Sometimes I get impatient 'cause I hate to live alone
I hate when everything I do must be done on my own
I want to have someone to share the things that we both like
And when the day comes to an end, I want her by my side

I want someone to share my dreams; I want a family
I want to have a baby son who looks a lot like me
Now, I've been burned and I'm afraid of being hurt again
But if I don't take chances, I'll be lonely 'til the end

CHORUS
CHORUS
