about

Bright and breezy number sung by Miss Modus and featuring Paul Jordanous on trumpet.

lyrics

Hedging My Bets

I hardly recognise or understand - oh oh
You and I these days are just like strangers holding hands
I don't know if this is just as well - oh oh
There are times I think we stand a snowball's chance in hell

I've found someone who's good for me but I haven't told him yet
I don't know if this is love
So I'm hedging my bets

Happiness is something I just found - oh oh
But I'm going in this time with both feet on the ground
I could take the nearest exit out - oh oh
Or try to find a way to get the best of both worlds now

Cos I've found someone who's good for me but I haven't told him yet
I don't know if this is love
So I'm hedging my bets

I'll keep my options open and the same goes for my mind
Nothing damaged, nothing broken, nothing left too far behind


I'll keep my options open and the same goes for my mind
Nothing damaged, nothing broken, nothing left too far behind

I hardly recognise or understand - oh oh
You and I these days are just like strangers holding hands
I don't know if this is just as well - oh oh
There are times I think we stand a snowball's chance in hell

I've found someone who's good for me but I haven't told him yet
I don't know if this is love
I don't know if this is love
I don't know if this is love
So I'm hedging my bets
