Don't Need To Win

(album: The Devil You Know - 2019)

Give it up a little
And you're flying safe
If the playing don't sting
Then you're throwing it away
Put it up a wall
Then behind the door
'Til you're thinking some day
That you want it some more

Up then you're down
Then you're going strong
Banking on a race
Or the rolling bones
Hands on the table
Split and a call
Out to the place
For a win and a show

You're going down
And you're thinking 'bout going out
Oh yeah
You got charms
And you better start using 'em now

If you wanna play the game
Hit but don't stay
Stakes are gonna raise
Gotta know your own limit
Life on a loan
Take it all home
I don't need to win the game
But I'm gonna be in it

Hold it back a little
For a bigger pot
Yeah, it's raining all day
Put up all that you got
Put it out your mind
Never skip a day
Cause you're sitting on a slot
That's ready to pay

In and then you're out
Then your streak is hot
Just another hand
And you're back on top
Come to the table
You double down
Another hand
And you'll turn it around

You're going down
And you're thinking 'bout going out
Oh yeah
You got charms
And you better start using 'em now

If you wanna play the game
Hit but don't stay
Stakes are gonna raise
Gotta know your own limit
Life on a loan
Take it all home
I don't need to win the game
But I'm gonna

Play all night
Gonna play all day

Sometimes in the flashing lights
Do you see your life passing, flashing by
Sometimes in the flashing lights
Do you see your life passing, flashing by
Sometimes in the flashing lights
Do you see your life passing, flashing by
Don't pry, cause I'm living life
And I'm living for the thrill and it's high

Play the game
Hit but don't stay
Stakes are gonna raise
Gotta know your own limit
Life on a loan
Take it all home
I don't need to win the game
But I'm gonna be in it

You play the game
Hit but don't stay
Stakes are gonna raise
Gotta know your own limit
Life on a loan
Take it all home
I don't need to win the game
But I'm gonna be in it
