Lyrics
I'm the gambler, a gambling man

I hold the cards, babe in the palm of my hand

You like the way I put it down, stick it all on black, tonight

Spin me left, girl
A command for someone to change the speaker's direction, possibly metaphorically.
Spin me right

I spin around and around
Describing a repetitive, circular pattern in the speaker's life.
And I'm going down again tonight

Spin the wheel, baby
Encouraging someone to take a chance, reflecting the gambling theme.
I just can't lose

Spent all my money in a Vegas town

Come on honey, don't be funny

Just deal out the cards, and take my money tonight
Asking for straightforward action without delay.

Spin me right

I just can't lose

I said, come on girl
Inviting someone to actively participate with determination.
Put your back into it tonight
Requesting energetic and committed involvement.
I lost my job, and I lost my home
Describing personal losses, including job, home, and money.
Lost all my money, and took out the loan
Detailing further financial troubles, resorting to taking out a loan.
Maybe I'll win it back again, someday
