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 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 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 desicion I made I paid it back and more I turn the cards and let them fall to me Cuz I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me I give it back cuz it's not the way it has to be 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 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 and a 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 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 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 of my heart That's not the shape of my heart
