Lottery Songtext
von Jade Bird

I was 19 and you were 23
We stayed in Number 4 Ferdinand Street
We spent five talking ′bout 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 bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you′re bettin′ on me

I tell you about a guy that
I've been with, you ask
"How old is he?," and I laugh, "26"
"Nah, but he′s 30!
How messed up is that?"
"Well, forget it," he says
"I'm a jealous man and I don′t wanna talk about that"


You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin′ on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin′ 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 got your numbers and you′re bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you′ll play it any way

You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin′ on me
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin′ on me?
