Lyrics

VERSE 1
Met her down on fortune lane
Bright red lips, black champagne
Said, "Baby, wanna play a game?"
and then she broke into a big smile
Diamonds sparklin' bright in her eyes
cherry red boots, hot wild streak
shaped like cut out of a dream
pumpin' my veins, in my heartbeat

CHORUS
Dark Lady Luck, you played your cards
Dealt me diamonds, then broke my heart
cha-ching in my ears, then nothing but pain
Roses and wine, then you walked away again

VERSE2
She wore clubs on her bracelet chain
Ace of spades, on the gravy train
scandal beauty in a limousine ride
windows down, breeze in her hair
She said, "Boy, you're a sure-fire win"
Pulled me close, then cashed me in
Now I'm counting what I can't get back
Every heartbeat, every heart attack

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I played the game, I played it hard and true
But this game of chance, it's always skewed
One more hand, I swear, I'll walk away
But the siren song of tomorrow's game
Keeps me comin' back
Keeps me comin' back

CHORUS
