Love is a gamble


Love is a gamble aint it?

A Guessing game, so if you dont get the picture, paint it.

You never know if you're winning or losing, if you're healing or bruising,

If your seriousness is victim to someones amusement, 

If they're using you like the chords chords they use in Jazz, 

Love is confusing so you're lost or you're losing us fast, 

Love loosens the tightest heart but it hardens the softest, 

Love ruins the whitest outfit at a beauty contest, 

I'm talking 'bout love, love is the perfect weapon, 

Love is why some of us won't even get to heaven, 

'cause of our lack of it and how we're disrespecting it, 

How we neglected its principles and infected it, 

Love was the centrepiece for human creation, 

now there is seldon peace in human relations, 

Love should be patient but is the reason for many patients in clinics, 

When the passion has died and the patience has hit the limits.

Its so easy to fall in it, as easy as attraction see a heart and then you win it, 

And just 'cause you respect it you expect that it's infinite, 

But that aint how it always goes, 

Love is like a medicine, it kills you if you overdose.
