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 
Then 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 [bad word] 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 
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 
Cos I don't need to play on 
with the hand that they have given me I'll give it back cos it's 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 
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 
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 
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 a cool deal of life for me And it's all good 

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 
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 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 that's not the shape The shape of my heart
