| Took a trip to Paris, France looking for a queen |
| I got brave and I took a chance and played the local scene |
| Jumped all night from bar to bar, but didn't have no luck |
| I decided I'd gone to far this time and I gave up |
| And hit the road |
| |
| Walkin' down the avenue a lady caught my eye |
| I didn't know just what to do; she caught me by surprise |
| She said her name was Jessica and that she lived alone |
| She asked about America and said she'd take me home |
| If I would like |

| Life is hard when you're a gambler |
| There's so much that you gotta do |
| You ask me why I say I'm a gambler |
| I say it's a gamble, girl, to love you |
| |
| Yesterday desctruction crew were all good friends of mine |
| I can't condone the things they do, but I can drink their wine |
| All night long |
| |
| There's somethin' I should say to you, but words escape me now |
| All the pain I put you through, then I still lied somehow |
| I guess you know |
| |
| Life is hard when you're a gambler |
| There's so much that you gotta do |
| You ask me why I say I'm a gambler |
| I say it's a gamble, girl, to love you |
