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
