In the Kelly Clarkson's new song: "chancing"?
Hi guys!
I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's new song "All I Ever Wanted" and reading the lyrics along online..and a part of lyrics goes like this:
Is this a typo that a transcripter made? (for the word "second chance"?) or
does it make sense to native speakers in some way? or
is it just a twist that normally happens in a song lyrics?
Somebody help me please with this!

I like Kelly Clarkson as a singer, but not every one of her songs. First of all, lyrics may be written with or without the grammar rules. I don’t recommend it as a learning tool.

I know John has a gambling problem and he asked Paul to loan him $200 dollars for he owed his roommate the rent. Paul loaned him the money. I can say “Paul is chancing with his money”

Thanks a lot, Goodman!
I am aware that song lyrics are not a great tool for language learning, but I just couldn't help wondering what the phrase means while listeinng to that song! hahaha
So, you're saying "second-chancing" does read naturally to you, right?
But I got more confused by your example..I'm sorry.
Does that sentence "Paul is chancing with his money" mean
