Analysis of The 2 to 1 problem
I just bet a fiver on red
I just lost and feel full of dread
I cannot come home without that five
Better play on and losses just hide
Oh, that one lost
just like most
But it was only ten after all
Them figures are small
Easy to hide from partners you see,
Not a big problem, if you ask me
Sure whats a white lie when we share a bed
When I am already worried enough in my head.
