Stack Your Cards Well
Nothing stays the same, when you play this game
Knowing where you stand, as you play your hand
Fighting for what's right, crying through the night
Talking long and hard, as you play your cards
Trying to get through, when you're feeling blue
Smiling with a frown, lay your cards face down
Take a chance on fate, say good bye to hate
Thinking what the heck, as you fold the deck
Everything's a game of chance
You may win or lose in romance
Life is never so certain at all
Stack your cards well so they don't fall
Hold on to your hope, as your safety rope
Run fast with the pack, lose out to a Jack
Dig in deep to win, there's no finishing
Wanting your life back, shuffling the pack
Loving hard at night, hoping things are right
Draw an inside straight, before it gets too late
Giving it your all, waiting for the fall
Keeping poker faced, play the queen win ace
Ace of clubs not for me
Queen of Hearts watch your back
King of Diamonds maybe
Where's the Joker in the pack....
Everything's a game of chance
You may win or lose in romance
Life is never so certain at all
Stack your cards well so they don't fall
Stack your cards well so they don't fall.....
