You're holding all the cards, I'm keeping up my guard I'm not playing those games with you You want me but not today, when you just can't say You must attend to your frivolous affairs I'm playing solitaire, I know that I play fair And I'm keeping my hearts in line Oh, it's a lonely game, and I'm the only one to blame For losing myself to you ♪ I had an ace of hearts, you knew it from the start I so foolishly gave to you Well, it suited you a while, now jokers are in style And I'm left with a low handed, dirty deal You've been stringing me along I've held on far too long to this imaginary thing I'm calling out your bluff, here's my royal flush As I watch you spin so far away
