Marked Deck

(album: The Fabulous Thunderbirds - 1979)

Well, love is like a card game
Don't you know you've gotta deal one time
Well, love is a lot like a card game
Don't you know you've got to deal one time
Well, if you play with me, baby
I'll tell you I'll play mine

Ace is for the first time I met you
Two's for the second time you know I was just a fool
Tray's for the third party, baby you know his name
Four's for the fourth time you tried to play that same old game
Five for the five days I work so hard for you
Six is for the sixth time you came and knocked on my door
Seven for the seven card seven day's a week
Eight for the eight hour when I kiss your cheek
Nine to nine through the rain and snow
Ten times you told Tommy he could go

Oh Jack the mule, the mule we'll use to plow
The Queen that's you woman, you laid your bible down
But the King is me and I'll wait on my crown
Watch out baby to be there when the deal goes down
Play cards woman... don't you know you've gotta deal one time
Yes! play with me baby, I'll tell you I'll play mine
Oh oh...
