Lyrics
TRUMP CARD
By: Lisa A. DeRenard, Copyright 2003, 2004 ASCAP, BMI
INTRO:
Oooh, you must have a trump card.
Oooh, you gotta have a trump card.
Oooh, you must have a trump card.
Oooh, you gotta have a trump card.
VERSE I:
Life is like a pack of cards.
Dealt out before you are born.
Deception, even at conception,
Dealt out from the bottom of the deck.
CHORUS:
Do you have a trump card? In a suit?
One that never runs out on you?
If you want to play a game with my heart.
Get yourself a trump card from the start.
BRIDGE:
You think you?re looking good down in spades.
I might have an ace that never got played.
Till it was time you realized every hand that was played,
You forgot it. But I remember (yes I do).
Every heartache. Every tear. Winning the pot?
Who do you think made it right?
You, you must have a trump card.
VERSE II:
If you think you don?t have control,
You?re absolutely right, you don?t.
But if you think you have all the cards,
Be careful my friend which one you burn.
CHORUS
BRIDGE (solo)
Oooh, you must have trump card
Oooh, you gotta have trump card (fade out)
