I live ma life in chains
got ma hands in chains
and I cant stick with the cards
that I got with a deal
like this I must insist
that a girls got more to do
then be the way you think a woman should
im taking it into ma own hands
in this mans land i can understand
why im taking command
had enough of stuff and now its time to think about me, me
Chorus:
And you can easily gamble your life away
second after second and day by day
you play the game or you walk away
its a new turn on a blue day
and a cool deal of life for me
and its 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 thats not the shape of my heart
Ive always played it safe nothings 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 dont need to play on with the hand that they have given me
ill give it back 'coz its not the way it has to be
Chorus:
And you can easily gamble your life away
second after second and day by day
you play the game or you walk away
its a new turn on a blue day
and a cool deal of life for me
and its 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 thats not the shape of my heart
thats not the shape
thats not the shape of my heart
my heart
thats not the shape of my heart
Chorus:
And you can easily gamble your life away
second after second and day by day
you play the game or you walk away
its a new turn on a blue day
