I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
But I can´t stick with the cards I got with a deal like this
I must insist that a girl´s got more to do

Than be the way you think a woman should
I´ve taken it into my own hands
In this man´s land
I can understand why I´m taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now it´s time to think about me

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a 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 desicion I made
I paid it back and more
I turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cuz I don´t need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I give it back cuz it´s not the way it has to be

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a 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 a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It´s a new turn on a blue day
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a 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 of my heart
That´s not the shape
Shape of my heart
