Well, if you gonna play cards, Baby

Well, don't you know you’ve got to deal some time

Well, if you gonna play cards, Baby

Well, don't you know you’ve got to deal some time

Well listen to me Baby

And I’m gonna tell you how I deal mine

The Ace is for the first time that I met you

Duce that’s the second time that there was no one but just us two

Trey that’s the third party, and darlin’ you know his name

Four that’s the fourth time that you tried to play that same old game

Five is for five years that you used me for a clown

Six that’s the sixth time that you tried to put me down

Well I’m holding out for the Seven, for the seven days in the week

Well, eight that’s the eighth hour, when you went out with your sheik

Nine is for the nine years that I worked hard every day

Ten that’s the tenth of the month, when you came every Friday to collect my pay

Well the Jack he’s your lover, and you’re using me for a goat

Queen that’s you Pretty Mama and you’re trying to cut my throat

Whoa, but the King that’s me, Lord and I’m about to wear my crown

So be careful Pretty Baby, you ain’t dead when the deal goes down

If you gonna play cards, Baby

Don't you know you’ve got to deal some time

So listen to me Baby, that you ain’t dead when the deal goes down
