Poker and Pawns

A pawn in the game 
A bet on the table 
To you I'm just a name 
To me, you're the gamble 

Place the bid high 
I play to win 
Cause when I hold the deck 
Your feelings will spin 

Now the tables have turned 
It's your heart, my hands 
So toss the dice again 
And hope in your favor it lands 

In the end, I'm just a pawn 
You're still just the bet 
But now I'm the checkmate queen 
Of a jackpot you'll never get
