lyrics

[Chorus x 2]
No money left in my pants/
I don’t know who I am/
I don’t know what I’ve planned/
But I know that it's choice not chance/

[Verse 1]

When we meet 18, you were so attractive/
I was head over heels; yeah I was doing back flips/
Excitement that’s it, this fantastic magic/
Any chance I’d get, I would make contact with/
You after work and every other weekend/
Always my shout, every minute that we’d spend/
I new I was in the deep end, never feeling cheap man/
Every coloured note was going to what we’d planned, This damned romance/
I thought I had won, I thought I’d hit the jackpot/
More addictive than a crack rock, always getting in that slot/
And that’s a lot, for everyone to take in/
Lost a couple boys, or were they just fake friends/
Now I’m struggling to make ends, I wanna make amends/
So much money I wasted, so much debt I’m facing/
I should have stopped after a I’ll tasting, it’s to late/
No it’s not, I gotta quit and stop gambling my life away/

[Chorus x 2]
No money left in my pants/
I don’t know who I am/
I don’t know what I’ve planned/
But I know that it's choice not chance/

[Verse 2]

I remember when we first met , I was playing around/
I noticed my notes were like my father ,they were running out/
and then I saw ya steering at me, from beyond the crowd/
and then I had no creases, coz ya even me out/
so I approached ya, but I was a little hesitant/
and then we stated hanging out, rope for a necklace/
I think I wana see ya more, if ya pay me dividends/
I wouldn’t rule it out, and I aint talking measurements/nah
I just wana sit with you all night, I cant leave/
now I must be made of hot water, coz my self esteem/
is higher and hotter than before,100 degrees/
but I quickly get brought back down to earth, gravity/
coz ya stole from me, now I’m down and out and miserable/
so we cant see each other anymore, invisible/
look what ya done, ya made me distant from my family/
We Aint Talking bout Girls, lets choose to end to harmful gambling/

[Chorus x 2]

No money left in my pants/
I don’t know who I am/
I don’t know what I’ve planned/
But I know that it's choice not chance/
