Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
[Verse 2]
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
[Bridge]
You know I'm born to lose
And gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby
I don't wanna live forever
And don't forget the joker
[Verse 3]
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be
[Chorus]
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Written by: Eddie Clarke, Ian Kilmister, Phil Taylor
