$mart Money's On You

Insiders will always be speculating
on one of those lucrative ladies-in-waiting
and trading on the strength of convictions;
But the market proves fickle for all but a fortunate few.
I’ll heed their advice, my honey:
Smart money’s on you.

Investing my Precious, time in this dance to the finish line.
All bets are off in advance in the realm
of romance and high speed chases.
What you characterize as a cake walk
I'm calling a day at the races.
I'm not banking on comfortable futures.
We both know the dividends.
So best plan your moves most cautiously
before you decide to withdraw from me.
There are things for which
none can make amends.
 
Centrifugal force pins me back in my seat
The risks are too dear to mistake it.
I refuse to default in the face of defeat,
but those are the brakes so you take it.
Conventional wisdom tends to suggest
Smart money’s on you and to hell with the rest.

Yeah, old money won't trickle down far
but for the fortunate few.
They're hedging their bets, my honey:
Smart money’s on you.
