(Carole Bayer Sager Bruce Roberts)



Keep your aces up your sleeve

When the temperature's rising

And the air's getting harder to breathe



And remember when to leave

Without leaving traces

Only a child leaves his footprints all around

Not caring if he's found out loud

And only a fool or a child shows his hand

Oh how I wish I was one of them again

One of them



Take your lovers as they come

Don't get too involved

Attachments are problems that can't be solved

And remember its a show

A ring with no net

And don't you forget no one will catch you when you fall

They've all got to cope with their own

Only a fool or a child bears his soul

Oh haw I thank them for giving me some hope

For giving me some



Keep your aces up your sleeve

And don't you forget no one will catch you when you fall

They've all got to cope with their own

And only a fool

Could see how much I love you

Good thing no one listens to him

Only a child or a fool shows his hand

Oh how I wish I was one of them

Either one of them again
