Shape (ft. Sting)

 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
