Playing Cards Lyrics by Eric Himan

Playing Cards

2015

[Verse 1]
I didn't know
I couldn't see
The hand I was dealt
Right in front of me

[Verse 2]
It wasn't your voice
That gave you away
I could just tell there was somebody else
In the game

[Chorus]
Well, you knew you had me
{?} diamonds in the rough
I thought I was your king of hearts
While you were busy in the clubs
I was playing for love...
And you were just playin' cards

[Verse 3]
As I could hear
I tried to see a flush
You're checking your phone
More than once was enough

[Verse 4]
Cause I was all in
And you were outplayed
How could the lies of deceit
Ever make me believe I should wait?

[Chorus]
Well, you knew you had me
{?} diamonds in the rough
I thought I was your king of hearts
While you were busy in the clubs
I was playing for love...
And you were just ...

[Bridge]
Playing cards like you knew you would win
Playing cards like you're doing again
I should of known from the start
You were the joker in the dark
And you were just playin' cards

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa

[Chorus]
We were two of a kind
Before you crossed the line
I let you gamble with my heart
So before you ante up
Let me call your bluff
And you were just playing....

[Bridge]
Playing cards like you knew you would win
Playing cards like you're doing again
I should of known from the start
You were the joker in the dark
And you were just playin' cards
