I'm A Winner

(albüm: Surrender / I'm Still Waiting - 1971)

I roll the dice
Seven eleven
You'll either take me down
Or you'll take me to heaven

And I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

My friends all say
He don't play by the rules
So listen
Don't you be no fool
Don't you know, you're just a beginner
So look at me now

I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes, I am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes I am
She's a winner

Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gambling you'd be mine

And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
Say I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

My friends all say
We just don't understand it
You play this game
You'll come out empty handed

'Cause here we arrange her
And then shortchange her
But I fooled them, y'all

I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes I am
She's a winner
Yes I am

Put that money down
and put 'dem chips on nine

I'm a gambling girl
And I give all I got
So I am at your love
And I hit the jackpot

And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

I'm a winner
Yes I am
I'm a winner
Yes I am
