Lyrics
The Game Michael John Ahern ã2003
Well get out of my life and out of the door she said
I still don?t know what it was I did
I tried to ask her she won?t return my calls
I well guess it?s time to let the cards fall
Let the cards fall
I was the king of diamonds
Let the cards fall
She was the queen of hearts
Let the cards fall
Come Sunday morning that was when she broke my heart
Let the cards fall
This hand life?s dealing
Let the cards fall
This pair won?t win
It don?t look like I?ll be in her game again
(well) I?m standin? here all empty and feelin? alone
Standing in a house we use to call our home
I thought I understood the things she felt
Well I guess it?s time to play the cards life?s dealt
Chorus 2
Well I should have seen her play now long ago
I could have hedged my bets just one more time
I?m so confused so here I sing the blues
Come on baby deal me one more hand?.I?m a lovin man
