Lyrics
Yeah
Alright
Gonna catch a flight to Nevada
Leave her friends at home in L.A.
Seven come eleven or blackjack
Gambling night and day, yeah
‘Cause she’s a roller now
A high roller baby, she is, mm
She’s a roller, yeah
A high roller baby, alright, woo
Ooh, she likes to play for double or nothin’
She’s tellin’ all the boys she’s hot
And everybody knows she’s ready, yeah
To give it everything that she got
Ooh, she’s a roller, yeah
A high roller baby, my, my
Ooh, she’s a roller, yeah
A high roller baby, look out, oh
Yeah
My, my, my, my
People try to tell her she’s crazy
She doesn’t hear a word they say, yeah
Tellin’ all the boys to get ready
‘Cause she’s givin’ it all away
Ooh, she’s a roller, yeah (roller)
A high roller baby, yeah
She’s a roller, yeah (roller)
A high roller baby, she is
She’s a roller (roller)
A high roller baby, yeah, yeah
She’s a roller (roller)
A high roller baby, ooh
