GAMBLER (VISION QUEST, 1985)

“But all I ever settled for is that we're born to live and then to die, and... we got to do it alone, each in his own way. And I guess that's why we got to love those people who deserve it like there's no tomorrow. 'Cause when you get right down to it - there isn't.” – Louden Swain

The song Gambler though famous in the ‘80’s was overshadowed by Madonna’s other and more famous song Crazy For You in the movie Vision Quest. Sporting a very different look and pretty much one of her early career image can be seen while singing (and dancing) to Gambler.


GAMBLER
sung by: Madonna

Gambler, gambler

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise

Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes

Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say

'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

Don't want to say this but I think that I should

I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be good

One day you see me the next day I'm gone

Don't fight me baby I don't want to hold on

I'm a gambler, a gambler

You're not happy with the way I act

You better turn around boy, don't look back

You're getting angry, you know I can see

You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances

Let me show you how

Tonight, I'll be taking my chances

On you, on you, on you, on you, that's right baby

I'm a gambler, gambler

You understand what I'm talking about?

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

I'm a gambler, a gambler

Gambler, 'cause I'm a gambler

You can't stop me now

I'm on the road baby I know how

You can't stop me now

Oh no

You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm a gambler, yeah

I'm a gambler

That's right baby
