[Verse 1]
They tell you not to roll the dice
When you’re playin with your own life
I saw you and I didn’t think twice
Probably should have told you goodbye
But you kissed me in the middle of the street
And you didn’t care that people were watching
I knew that nothing ever comes free
But under that sky, it didn’t stop me
[Chorus]
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
Spending the night with you alone
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
I should have known that even winning the lottery
Would leave you broke
Broke, broke (broke,broke)
[Verse 2]
They say you shouldn’t go all in
When you’re betting odds you can’t win
But I’d do it all over again
Even though I know how it ends
[Chorus]
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
Spending the night with you alone
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
I should have known that even winning the lottery
Would leave you broke
[Bridge]
I should have held on tight but I cashed it in
And I still reach out for your hands on my skin
Cause now I know what it should have been
You and me like kings and queens
On your rolled up couch rolling in our dreams
[Chorus]
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
Spending the night with you alone
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
Spending the night with you alone
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
I should have known that even winning the lottery
Would leave you broke
[Outro]
Did we win that lottery or was it just robbery?
Guess I know what love is now
But I don’t know why it’s got to be that hard
You’re happy without me and I’m broke so I break down
But I know what love is now
