SOLITAIRE

WELL, I GOT LOST IN THE SHUFFLE
WHEN SHE PLAYED HER WINNING HAND
ALL THE CARDS WERE STACKED AGAINST ME
NOW SHE’S WITH ANOTHER MAN
I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED IT STRAIGHT WITH HER
‘CAUSE THE STAKES WERE VERY HIGH
I THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS JUST BLUFFING
WHEN SHE TOLD ME GOODBYE
I’VE GAMBLED EVERYTHING
GUESS I THOUGHT WE WERE A PAIR
NOW I’M JUST ANOTHER JOKER
IN THIS GAME OF SOLITAIRE
I’VE GAMBLED EVERYTHING
NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SPARE
GUESS IT’S TIME FOR ME TO FOLD
AND START A GAME OF SOLITAIRE
IT SEEMS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
THAN TO COURT THE QUEEN OF HEARTS
SHE MADE HER REPUTATION
LONG BEFORE SHE REACHED THESE PARTS
WELL, I’M NOT THE KING OF DIAMONDS
AND I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE
SO, SHE LEFT ME FOR A GUY NAMED JACK
AND NOW I’M HISTORY
(CHORUS)
AND IF I HAD SOME SAVIOR FAIRE
I MIGHT NOT HAVE TO PLAY SOLITAIRE
I’M SITTING IN THIS CLUB ALONE
‘CAUSE MY LUCK RAN OUT IN SPADES
AND I’M PICKING UP THE PIECES
THAT SHE LEFT AROUND THIS PLACE
IT’S GONNA BE A LITTLE WHILE
BEFORE MY HOUSE IS FULL AGAIN
IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME
I SAID IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME
IT’S IF YOU LOSE OR WIN
(CHORUS)
