Life Poker
The petty games played by the upper-society,
The fantastic gowns and splendid parties,
The fine wines and fancy cheese,
Oh,
And never forget,
The absolutely marvelous pets that we call people.
There is nothing better than a high stakes game,
Of the most incredible poker,
Bluffs and chips,
Strewn about the rooms,
Cards in hands,
And masks over eyes,
This game plays for keeps,
Never to return the broken hearts it seeks,
The game is for whatever you got,
Baby,
And never reveal your deepest secrets,
Cause now they're worth chips,
And oh the tricks they've learned,
Oh the tricks we've learned.
Welcome to life poker baby,
Where the game is for keeps,
And we keep playing the game,
Fame and fortune await the highest bidders,
As long as your bluff stays good,
Your chips aplenty,
And your cards in your favor.
Come with me,
Here you see,
Only the best players,
Yes me and you,
We are too,
So don't worry,
We'll fit in,
This game up here,
They don't play fair,
So keep your heart ever aware,
And you just might win.
Care to meet,
The biggest winner of all time,
Sweetie,
Yes,
You do,
Yes it's true,
This one knows all the tricks,
How to play,
What to say,
How to look to throw your focus off,
So stay sharp,
And smile pretty sweetheart,
So,
We can play with the big boys,
Without getting ourselves into trouble.
Take a seat,
Buy yourself in,
Why don't you?
They'll deal your hand,
Looking bad,
Oh well,
We'll see how it goes,
Oh you're win'n,
Well good for you doll,
Now let's get out,
While you're still ahead.
So how do you like life poker baby?
Little rough on your,
Sanity?
Sorry to,
Break the news,
But you lost big time,
Cause you see,
You and me,
That was never quite right,
I'm the best,
You're getting there,
But we can't let you get too far,
Cause if you do,
Then I'm through,
And I won't live much longer,
So sweetheart,
Thanks for the game,
We had fun,
And you've got quite the fame,
Have a sweet ride,
I'll see you on the other side,
And maybe then,
We'll play again,
And maybe you'll win that time...
