Lottery Jade Bird 

I was nineteen and you were twenty-three
We stayed in number four Ferdinand Street
We spent five talking
Bout our lives
But we 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
You ask how old is he and I laugh twenty-six
Nah but he’s thirty
How messed up is that?
Oh forget it he says
I’m a jealous man
And I don’t want talk about that

You used to tell me that love is a lottery
But you’ve 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
You’re 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
But you’ve 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 playing anyway

You used to tell me that love is a lottery
But you’ve got your numbers and you’re betting on me

You used to tell me that love is a lottery
But you’ve got your numbers and you’re betting on me
Are you still betting on me?
