Well the Ace of Spades, walkin' on the water
|
The joker's only daughter, in love with the king of hearts
|
Ooooh and the Jack of Clubs is kissin' the Queen of Diamonds
|
Oh, she's such a shy one, until that dancing starts
|
|
It's a house of cards
|
I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
|
But there's no one to blame
|
In the number one honest game
|
Playin' the number one honest game
|
|
You got deuces wild, go find yourself a partner
|
Tell her that you love her, before she checks your bet
|
Seven's up try again tomorrow, it's only a life of sorrow
|
This love you can't forget
|
|
It's a house of cards
|
I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
|
But there's no one to blame
|
In the number one honest game
|
We're playin' the number one honest game
|
|
Girl, my heart's not rigged nor gone astray
|
I'm lookin' for that timeless game to play
|
The way you move fills me with desire
|
But if you play with me, girl, you're playin' with fire...I'm burnin' up
|
|
Count your suits, add up all your markers
|
Now that you have found her, you take the love you want
|
Ooooh, you want mine, I'd give you kind and gentle
|
Just forget the mental, you put your heart in front
|
|
'Cause It's a house of cards
|
I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
|
But there's no one to blame
|
In the number one honest game
|
We're playin' the number one honest game
|
Playin' the number one honest game
|
Playin' the number one honest game...
