Gonna leave today for a holiday
gonna get that train, just go to spain
my life's been up & down, i wanna fool around
been paying my bills & now i want some thrills

yeah, i love to sin but i hate the sinners
i love to play but i hate to pay
it's been that way long before today
won't you please understand, i'm just a gambling man

just a gambling man

yeah i might die tomorrow
i might die today
so i picked up my suitcase
i made my getaway
i will have no sorrows
and i will feel no pain
'cause all the foolishness i've done
was not done in vain

always aimed for the long run
but a pair of dukes was all i had
won't you please understand
i was just playing my hand
no i won't go to heaven
and i won't go straight to hell
i'm just another man under a woman's spell

just another man, just another man
just another man under a woman's spell

just another man, just another man
just another man under a woman's spell

just another man, just another man
just another man under a woman's spell

just a gambling man

just a gambling man
