Number One Honest Game — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Well the ace of spades, walkin on the water

The jokers only daughter, in love with the king of hearts

Ooooh and the jack of clubs is kissin the queen of diamonds

Oh, shes such a shy one, until that dancing starts



Its a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But theres no one to blame

In the number one honest game

Playin the number one honest game



You got deuces wild, go find yourself a partner

Tell her that you love her, before she checks your bet

Sevens up try again tomorrow, its only a life of sorrow

This love you cant forget



Its a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But theres no one to blame

In the number one honest game

Were playin the number one honest game



Girl, my hearts not rigged nor gone astray

Im lookin for that timeless game to play

The way you move fills me with desire

But if you play with me, girl, youre playin with fire...im burnin up



Count your suits, add up all your markers

Now that you have found her, you take the love you want

Ooooh, you want mine, Id give you kind and gentle

Just forget the mental, you put your heart in front



cause its a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But theres no one to blame

In the number one honest game

Were playin the number one honest game

Playin the number one honest game

Playin the number one honest game...
