Lyrics
Kind Of A Disgrace (The Gambler)
Robert Porembski
VERSE 1
Oh I have been a gambler now, for over 20 years.
I?ve picked up girls and picked guitar and cried in all my beers.
And when it comes to lovin? you, I?m kind of a disgrace.
I?m familiar with your body, but I just can?t place the face.
VERSE 2
You came to me with lovin? arms and heartfelt sympathy.
And though you said you needed love, you never wanted me.
The risk involved we never solved, it changed from place to place.
Oh I know you liked my body, but you never saw my face.
BRIDGE 1
Why can?t life go on without the foolish chances that we need to take?
Promises we break?
SOLO
BRIDGE 2
Why can?t life go on without those foolish chances that we need to take?
Love we need to make!
VERSE 3
Now when I go to sleep at night, I often dream of you.
The places that we used to see, the good things we would do.
Then I recall of how in bed you took up all the space.
Oh you badly bruised my body and you slept right on my face.
Oh you always let me love you, but I had to know my place.
And the way we love each other, yeah it?s kind of
A disgrace!
