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 comand
   had enough of stuff and now its time to think abut me
  
   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 corage 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
  
   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

   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
  
   and you can easily gamble your life away
   second after second and day by day
   you play the game or you walk away
