I've been holding out too long
Master of the game
Carving notches in the heartbreak
Throwing water on the flame, on that flame
I've been taking all the punches (pow)
Not throwing any blows
Can't keep playing on these hunches
Getting knocked against the ropes
I'm too nice to be so beaten
They say nice guys finish last
Ain't many of us out there
We're disappearing fast, so very fast
There's a lucky lady out there
Someone's gonna see
There's a motherload of happiness
Deep inside of me
There's a locked and buried treasure
I'm the one who holds the key
Someone out there's gonna be the lucky one
And fall in love with me (fall in love with me)
[Solo Riff]
Girl I thought we had it
Thought that what we had was real
Thought I finally found somebody
Who shared the way I feel
I keep doing too much thinking
Keep on hanging on a prayer
Keep on falling hard and sinking
When nothing's really there
I'm sorry that you missed it
Missed the love you could have had
You almost hit the jackpot
Guess you've chosen to be sad, so very sad
You could have won a fortune
But you missed the final spin
You walked out on a sure bet
Someone else is gonna win
