Poker Face

Maybe it was for the best That I lost the jackpot That night When we were foolish young Dreams in our eyes New stack of cards On the felt table And I bet it all I threw it in For a chance To love you Once again You know I always carry an extra Ace In my deck of cards A King of Jacks Baby baby baby Do you see my hand? Diamond shaped lies Crimson colored heartfelt eyes Raven hued secrets A set of 5 fingered Alibi’s A Queen of Tricks What Is Up my sleeve? I’m done playing games I’m throwing away my poker face We’ve used the hand we’re dealt The best way we knew how Throwing a heartbeat on a dice Just to lose it all
