We stayed in long before Ferdinand Street

We spent five talking about our lives

But we'd talked like that about a thousand times

And I'm bored of all that

You used to tell me that

Love is a lottery

And you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

You used to say that

Love is a game

But you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

I'll tell you about a guy

That I've been with

And you ask how

"Old as he?"

And I left

"26, no but–"

He's 30

How messed up is that?

"Won't forget it" he says

"I'm a jealous man

And I don't want to talk about that"

You used to tell me that

Love is a lottery

But you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

You used to say that

Love is a game

But you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

Are you still betting on me?

Hold on, my dear

Hold on real tight

It's just a numbers game

In my mind

And we've been here a thousand times

A thousand times

A thousand–

You used to tell me that

Love is a lottery

And you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

You used to say that

Love is a game

But you got your numbers

And you'll play it anyway

You used to tell me that

Love is a lottery

But you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

You used to tell me that

Love is a lottery

But you got your numbers

And you're betting on me

Are you still betting on me?
