It?s not as if I didn?t know better, her innocent look and a scented letter 
It looked like love but it felt like a memory 
Sometimes a young girl wants a ticket out 
and a gambler on a roll looks good no doubt 
But if you think you?re winnin? you don?t even know the game you?re in 

Chorus: 
It?s read ?em and weep, it?s a sad old song 
You take your chances just the same 
Don?t it serve me right how it all went wrong 
Bettin? on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game 
Bettin? on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game 

It?s not as if she never loved me, but times get rough and the rooms get lonely 
And a girl learns fast that there?s a lot of different things called love 
I got burned bad but I?m still in this game 
It?s a dirty deal but nobody?s to blame 
The odds are good lady luck will be back again 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
Sometimes you gotta bet your aces low 
Sometimes you gotta let a good hand go 

Chorus 2x 

Bettin? on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game
