little time [bad word] away
simple trick to make me stay
You’ve got your cards, a game to play
mouthful to say
You need no spark to start a fire
You need no key to my desire
bit of love to take me higher
Some look to make my day
we’ll find a place to hide away
We’ll find a reason to escape
The midnight sun will light the way
cool night in the rays.
And in my dreams I hear you say
I am in love with you again
I hate to see you go away
An argument to weigh

I need no luck, nor clever tricks to win this game (play this game)
I won’t be yours, but I’ll be back to play again (fool again)

I’ll play your game
I’ll let you cheat
Beat me, beat I am
The King of spades
Love or deceit
Serenade

Whenever chances fade away
There’s got to be another way
To lie to me and make your play
Down to my knees again
You say you loved then turn away
You say you cared then go away
I know there’s got to be a way
To save the heart of clay
And when the fall cries yellow tears
And leaves me with my own fears
I want to be forgiven, please
You’ll whisper in my ear
I am no fool to have you stay
But I hate to see you go away
I am afraid to lose again
An argument to weigh

I need no luck, nor clever tricks to win this game (play this game)
I won’t be yours, but I’ll be back to play again (fool again)

I’ll play your game
I’ll let you cheat
Beat me, beat I am
The King of spades
Love or deceit
Serenade
