Lyrics
I'M ALL IN
How do I fit in
How do I find my place
Do you want me in the game
Or are there some facts I should face
Am I wrong to want
What I desire most of all
Just the two of us forever
If I'm wrong I'll take the fall
(Chorus) Would you believe in me
Or believe in yourself to begin
Either way I'm telling you
I'm all in
I'm all in
What do I do now
What else can I say to you
My chips are down but I'm not out
So let the dealer do what he will do
(Chorus)
(Bridge)You can walk away from the table
("Lucky in love" would mean a lot more)
You can walk away if you're able
(If I didn't think I'd been here before)
Doesn't change a thing
`Cause I'm all in
Should I bet it all
Did lady luck just wink at me
I want to know right now
Show your cards so I can see
(Chorus)
