only thing i got

played the game
of love.
lost my bet.
only thing i got
is what i'll get.

played it once.
played it twice.
not that it wadn't nice,
don't think i'll play it thrice.

like ridin' a bike
it's something you don't forget.
but, the only thing i got
is what i'll get.

stakes were too high.
loved passed me by.
trouble is,
i know why.

all i've got
is what i'll get.
love's too risky
to place another bet.

least not yet.
