On the River

Been being patient for say like twenty minutes looking for that special weakness You know the one where everyone thinks your lying, with your eyes. I been danmed if I do and be damned if I don't let you believe your holding a better one than me The truth is I'm ace and king suited: two guns, awesome, beautiful I've been playing sheep for tha last four hours, callng, checking, waiting. The flop was too, three of kind already one diamond, the other a weary club. Who are you? who beats a hand like mine Why are you always calm when you win.
