lyrics

Lay Your Cards on the Table

When I'm with you I feel I'm gamblin' somehow
There's something wrong, yes I know that by now
Every time it's just the same old line
We're gonna talk about it some other time

You may be thinkin' I'm a one eyed jack
Hey, but girl I got eyes in the back of my head
When your gamble with me
Lay your cards on the table
Lay your cards on the table

As gamblers go I can't make much of a stand
But I've been watchin' every move of your hand
And even though I find it hard to believe
I'm pretty sure you've got a card up your sleeve

I hate to say it but the jokers gone wild
Cause I'm aware now of the way you pile the cards
When your gamble with me
Lay your cards on the table
Lay your cards on the table

All I wanna do everyday is
See you, touch you, hear you, be near you
Whenever I'm with you it feels good to
See you, touch you, hear you, be near you
You shuffle the cards with such command
Is the winning card held in my hand?
Lay your cards on the table
Lay your cards on the table

All I wanna do everyday is
See you, touch you, hear you, be near you
Whenever I'm with you it feels good to
See you, touch you, hear you, be near you
You shuffle the cards with such command
Is the winning card held in my hand?
Lay your cards on the table
Lay your cards on the table
Lay them down on the table
Lay your cards on the table
Lay them down on the table
Lay your cards on the table
Lay your cards on the table
Lay them down on the table
Lay your cards on the table...
