Oh, I love to love,
But I won’t bet
my heart on it;

I marvel at the marriage,
But I won’t bet
my peace on it;

I woo wealth,
But I won’t bet
my freedom on it;

I’ll pander to the Politician.
But I won’t bet
my vote on it;

I’ll dare to dream,
But I won’t bet
my hopes on it;

I’ll revere religion,
But I won’t bet
my faith on it;

I’ll confess my sins
But I won’t bet
my salvation on it;

I prefer paradise,
But I won’t bet
my life on it;

I’ll gamble on God,
But I won’t bet
my soul on it!
