Song Description

At first this woman thinks that she can change a danger loving man but later realizes that she can't.

Lyrics

He was only passin' through.
That was five years ago.
Couldn't make commitments.
He was quick to tell her so.
He really loved to gamble when the stakes were more than cash.
The high risk and the danger were the biggest thrills he had.

She should have been more careful.
Thought she would not get hurt.
But who could dance around a flame
Never getting burned?
Thought she could stand to gamble and her heart was not at stake.
Got hooked and she fell harder
The longer that they played.

Chorus:
Next time a gambler tells her he cannot be true.
She'll believe him
She will leave him -for some other fool.
Don't matter how he goes or why
It all comes down the same.
The man who loves the danger most don't stay long in the game.

She thought the way they made love meant his heart had surely changed.
She ignored his warning that his first love was the game.
Deceived herself believin' that her love could tie him down.
But he was true to his commitment that he'd never stick around.

Bridge:
He could get a little crazy
He was known to start a fight.
I heard he pitched a wild fit if he thought that he was right.
She never saw his temper
Just his passion in her arms.
He treated her with dignity
He never meant her harm.

He went a little too far.
That was seven weeks ago.
I was not surprised when I heard he struck the first blow.
He never saw the bullet.
That's what she needs to believe.
But I can't escape the feelin' that he'd chosen how to leave.

Chorus
