Lyrics Francis And The Lights – Betting On Us

Oh no, oh no

This foreign interest, man, they’re running my business
They say I’ve gone too far
The conditions worsened and clouded my vision

The check engages, man, they come in the stages
They say they won’t give up
They’ve been clocking my numbers
But I’m working the summers
‘Cause I want it so much
I was down in the trenches — doing my time
Now I’m swinging for the fences — it’s all on the line
And I’m nervous and shaking
Tired and patient
And I want to go home

But no, I’m stepping on up to the plate
And I’m betting on us all the way

I’m not betting on luck, no
It’s just a lie, it’s just a lie, just a lie
‘Cause I’ve been waiting forever
But I know I can get it if I want it so much

So I’m betting on us
That’s why I’m betting on us
I’m betting on us
