Lyrics

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
Than 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
I've 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 soldier (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 decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cause I don't need to play on
With the hand that they have given me
I give it back, cause it's not the way it has to be
And you can easily gamble your life away (Gamble your life away)
Second after second and day by day (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 (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 (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 you can easily gamble your life away (Gamble your life away)
Second after second and day by day (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 (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, the shape of my heart
