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

<i>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>

<b>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 artBut that's not the shape of my heart</b>

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

<i>And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk awayIt's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good</i>

<b>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</b>

That's not the shape
The shape of my heartMy heart
That's not the shape of my heart

<i>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 I'm feeling good</i>

<b>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

But that's not the shape
Thats not the shape....
The shape of my heart</b>
