Queen of Diamonds
Lyrics
The casino floor is full of men so frightened Trying to make it pay To win or lose we know just how our night ends Gonna throw it all away Hope that suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds And everyone around you fills turns to silence Another plea to keep the repo man from dialling your name Again and again ♪ You think of all the gifts that you will give her Try to make her stay And you remember all the love she carried with her Like a bitter cheap champagne Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds It'll be limousines and Caribbean islands You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change What a fools game, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ And those whisky drinks they give you your ambition While the bar ladies they work for their commission But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing, it away Oh, how can it be you've drawn the queen of diamonds It was limousines and Caribbean islands What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding An ace An ace, what an ace What a cruel, cruel game oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh The casino floor is full of men so frightened Trying to make it pay To win or lose we know just how our night ends Gonna throw it all away Hope that suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds And everyone around you fills turns to silence Another plea to keep the repo man from dialling your name Again and again ♪ You think of all the gifts that you will give her Try to make her stay And you remember all the love she carried with her Like a bitter cheap champagne Now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds It'll be limousines and Caribbean islands You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling For a change, change, for a change What a fools game, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ And those whisky drinks they give you your ambition While the bar ladies they work for their commission But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing, it away Oh, how can it be you've drawn the queen of diamonds It was limousines and Caribbean islands What you didn't see is the dealer, he was hiding An ace An ace, what an ace What a cruel, cruel game oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
