I live my life in chains

Got my hands in chains

And I can′t stickWith the cards that 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′m taking it into my own hands

In this man's land I can't 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) 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

′Cause I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me

I'll give it back ′cause 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) soldier

(I know that the clubs are weapons of war) 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 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 it's all good

(I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier) soldier

(I know that the clubs are weapons of war) war ooh-ooh

(I know that diamonds mean money for this art)

(But that′s not the shape of my heart)

(But that′s not the shape)

(The shape of my heart)

(But that's not the shape)

(The shape of my heart)
