"Aces Up Your Sleeve" lyrics

"Aces Up Your Sleeve"

You moved up close, you said my name
You said you'd really like to play my game
You ate mine and sipped my gin
You took my cards and you dealt me in

I was told some things I should not be dealing
You got aces up your sleeve

Forget the night that I had planned
Was really hard when you dealt my hand
I had to bet, I could not bluff
You had to know 'cause you saw my stuff

I was young and girl, I was so naive, yeah
You had aces up your sleeve

Was it the cards, girl? Was it the booze?
I bet it hard, I could not lose
You double-dealed, you shuffled fast
I couldn't see another Jack go past

I was told some things I should not believe, yeah
You had aces up your sleeve
You're dealing diamonds, you're breaking hearts, girl
You stopped the game when the loving stopped
I was your Joker 'til the break of dawn
I looked up from my cards and you were gone

I was young and girl, I was so naive, yeah
You had aces up your sleeve

You moved up close, said my name
Said you'd really like to play my game
