Bending the rules
of a late-night card game
where the loser removes
an item of clothing
you're dreading each deal
so urgent and grave
have a shufty over your shoulder
well, it's a shady game
and I want to lose
oh please let me lose
oh please let me lose
it's nothing to you
it's nothing to you
this reshuffled pack
brings back
sick curse of luck
because the ace in my hand
is such a shock
exchanging a king for your two
while you're out of the room
have a shufty over your shoulder
well, all the same, it's a shady game
and I want to lose
oh please let me lose
oh please let me lose
it's nothing to you
it's nothing to you
I'm cutting this queen
well, this six is chewed
you're all undisguised
I'm stuck on shoes
well, have you ever met a
bad winner?
well, how do you do?
jack, ace, king, queen
no, no, no, no, no, no
no... they won't let me lose
I'm bending the rules
of a late-night card game
