I live my life in chains Got my hands in chains And I can't stick with the cards That I got with a deal Like this I must insist That a girl's got more to do Then be the way you think a woman should I'm taking it into my own hands In this man's land I can understand Why I'm taking command Had enough of stuff And now it's time to think about me, me yeah
[Bridge:] And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And day by day You play the game or you walk away It's a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal of life for me And it's all good
[Chorus:] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart
[Verse 2:] I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe Give me the courage to back my own convictions Every decision I make I pay it back and more Now turn the cards and let them fall to me I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me I'll give it back cos it's not the way it has to be
[Bridge:] And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And day by day You play the game or you walk away It's a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal of life for me And it's all good
[Chorus:] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart
[Bridge:] That's not the shape The shape of my heart My heart That's not the shape of my heart
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And day by day You play the game or you walk away It's a new turn on a blue day
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And day by day You play the game or you walk away It's a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal of life for me And I'm feeling good
[Chorus:] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape The shape of my heart...
