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 soldiers
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
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 soldiers
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, shape, yeah
The shape of 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 a cool deal of life for me
And I'm feeling good, yeah

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldiers
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
And 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
