Well, I told you you should have come to sunny California
But you [?] to my calls, baby, I just tried to warn ya
Now it's cold, cold, cold, there's no one to hold ya
(No one to hold you)
I tried to bring you a [?] before I go, you should know

I never wanted to hold you
That was a lie somebody sold you
To keep you playing the silly game like animals
You wrote the paradise
With all my chips all on the table
When you can't [?] somebody's heart, you're gonna find out
You can't beat the house

So I wait for you with an ocean view, sunny California
I'm certain, with a little more time, you'll see the light, oh
You say the word, baby, and you'll be sitting pretty on a one-way flight
Yeah, do you really think you could just leave me here to die?
My heart's on fire

I never wanted to hold you
That was a lie somebody sold you
To keep you playing the silly game like animals
You wrote the paradise
With all my chips all on the table
When you can't believe in somebody's heart, you're gonna find out
You can't beat the house

I never wanted to hold you
That was a lie somebody sold you
To keep you playing the silly game like animals
You wrote the paradise
With all my chips all on the table
When you can't believe in somebody's heart, you're gonna find out
(Gonna find out)
You can't beat the house
