Welcome to the Hothouse, the game I called 21
I was in debt right up to my neck, I wasn't having any fun
But then the dealer turned around, she looked me right in the eye
I got no time for a messing around but you know I had to give it a try
she's got me under the gun - she can't have 21
she asked me why I was takin' my time, sweat running down my neck
I had the 6, the lady got 9 from the bottom of the deck
a 4 for me, it was a good thing, but she was sitting on a face
I said hit me with your best shot and she gave me the ace
she's got me under the gun, she cant have 21
I've got to be the chosen one - she can't have 21
I've gotta win, I gotta win or I might as well be dead
God let me win, just let me win, or I might as well be dead
Deuce's up, dealer has 21
