I live ma life in chains

got ma hands in chains

and I cant stick with the cards

that I got with a deal

like this I must insist

that a girls got more to do

then be the way you think a woman should

im taking it into ma own hands

in this mans land i can understand

why im taking command

had enough of stuff and now its time to think about me, me



Chorus:

And you can easily gamble your life away

second after second and day by day

you play the game or you walk away

its a new turn on a blue day

and a cool deal of life for me

and its 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 thats not the shape of my heart



Ive always played it safe nothings 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

I dont need to play on with the hand that they have given me

ill give it back 'coz its not the way it has to be



Chorus:

And you can easily gamble your life away

second after second and day by day

you play the game or you walk away

its a new turn on a blue day

and a cool deal of life for me

and its 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 thats not the shape of my heart



thats not the shape

thats not the shape of my heart

my heart

thats not the shape of my heart



Chorus:

And you can easily gamble your life away

second after second and day by day

you play the game or you walk away

its a new turn on a blue day
