Love is just like playing the numbers, you got a one chance out a million times.
You'll put all you money on one ninety-eight, and out pops one ninety-nine.

Now, love you have to buy, it don't mean a thing to you.
If you got to buy your love, it don't mean a thing to you.
As soon as your money ‘s all gone, she's lookin' for another chump that's new.

Love you have to buy, you just deceivin' yourself.
Love you have to buy, you ain't givin' justice to yourself.
The same love you have bought, has been sold many times to someone else.

If a woman sticks with you when you down, that 's real love, don't drive her away.
If a woman sticks with you when you down, that 's real love, don't drive her away.
