Still the Same
Unyielding Gambler's Anthem: Rod Stewart's Timeless Message
Lyrics
You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You consistently emerged victorious every time you placed a bet.
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
You are still highly skilled, and no one has managed to defeat or overcome you.
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
Whenever others were confident they had trapped or outsmarted you,
You were quicker than they thought
You proved to be faster and more cunning than they anticipated.
You'd just turn your back and walk
You would simply ignore the situation and leave without confrontation.
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
You always believed that luck would never betray you in card games.
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
You advised not to engage in the game for too long to avoid pitfalls.
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
Your willingness to take risks was limited to the realm of gambling.
The only loss you could forsake
You were only willing to endure losses that you could easily bear.
The only bluff you couldn't fake
You were unable to deceive in the only situation where bluffing was ineffective.
And you're still the same
Despite time passing, your essential nature remains unchanged.
I caught up with you yesterday
I met up with you recently.
Moving game to game
You continue to move from one game to another.
No one standing in your way
No obstacles hinder your progress.
Turning on the charm
You deploy charm when necessary, but only for a brief period.
Long enough to get you by
Just enough to navigate through situations successfully.
You're still the same
Your fundamental character and approach to life remain unaltered.
You still aim high
You still have ambitious goals.
There you stood, everybody watched you play
In a particular scenario, everyone observed your gameplay.
I just turned and walked away
I chose to walk away without saying anything.
I had nothing left to say
There was nothing more I felt compelled to express.
'Cause you're still the same
Because your essential nature and characteristics remain consistent.
You're still the same
Reiteration that you remain unchanged.
Moving game to game
You continue to navigate through life, engaging in different activities.
Some thlngs never change
Some aspects of your behavior or approach remain constant.
You're still the same
Your core identity and qualities persist.
