It's the most important game of chance
Judging judgments with a glance
But a spade's a spade, so it's all the same
A different shade with a different name
A different shade, a different name

I've got my eye on the queen of hearts
But I'm tired of searching through this house of cards
I've got my eye on the queen of hearts
But I'm tired of searching through this house of cards

'Cause I'm playing for keeps
I'm playing for keeps

With nothing to lose, you can't lose at all
With nothing to lose, you can't lose at all
Because I'm playing for keeps
