| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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’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 Cos 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 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
