A little time to run away A simple trick to make me stay You’ve got your cards, a game to play A mouthful to say You need no spark to start a fire You need no key to my desire A bit of love to take me higher Some look to make my day we’ll find a place to hide away We’ll find a reason to escape The midnight sun will light the way A cool night in the rays. And in my dreams I hear you say I am in love with you again I hate to see you go away An argument to weigh
I need no luck, nor clever tricks to win this game (play this game) I won’t be yours, but I’ll be back to play again (fool again)
I’ll play your game I’ll let you cheat Beat me, beat I am The King of spades Love or deceit Serenade
Whenever chances fade away There’s got to be another way To lie to me and make your play Down to my knees again You say you loved then turn away You say you cared then go away I know there’s got to be a way To save the heart of clay And when the fall cries yellow tears And leaves me with my own fears I want to be forgiven, please You’ll whisper in my ear I am no fool to have you stay But I hate to see you go away I am afraid to lose again An argument to weigh
I need no luck, nor clever tricks to win this game (play this game) I won’t be yours, but I’ll be back to play again (fool again)
I’ll play your game I’ll let you cheat Beat me, beat I am The King of spades Love or deceit Serenade
