I live my life in chains Got my hands in chains But I can't stick with the cards I got with a deal like this I must insist that a girl's got more to do
Than be the way you think a woman should I've taken 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
Bridge: And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second and a 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
