Baby don't you know
That life is sweet
It swiftly goes
So I just gotta know
That it's moe than lust
That you're worth my trust
You gotta search inside yourself
And purely open up to me
Before I'll be with you…
You gotta give me something sacred
More than merely physical
One night's not enough
Gotta be certain
I'm so in love with you…
It's just another Saturday evening
He's watching all the girls go by
He finds your body kind of appealing
So he hits you with his favorite lie
He's looking you over
He whispers “let's get to know each other better baby”
He's moving in closer
But what you see may not be the entirety
So be wary
He's just out for the one night
He just wants you till he gets his way now baby baby
So don't gamble with your life
It don't pay
You see her standing there on the corner
Sashaying as the cars go by
You casually look over your shoulder
As she winks at you and bats her eyes
You're thinking about it
Your conscience tells you to go
But something's in the way now
The prospect's arousing
You think just this once can't hurt them
But you might have another thing coming
He's just out for the good time
Baby, so later you'll forget her name yeah yeah
So don't gamble with no life
It don't pay
He's just out for the one night
But it's more than just a little game now, baby, baby
So don't gamble with your life
It don't pay
