HE DEALS THE CARDS AS A MEDITATION
AND THOSE HE PLAYS NEVER SUSPECT
HE DOESN'T PLAY FOR THE MONEY HE WINS
HE DON'T PLAY FOR RESPECT
HE DEALS THE CARDS TO FIND THE ANSWER
THE SACRED GEOMETRY OF CHANCE
THE HIDDEN LAW OF A PROBABLE OUTCOME
THE NUMBERS LEAD A DANCE
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
HE MAY PLAY THE JACK OF DIAMONDS
HE MAY LAY THE QUEEN OF SPADES
HE MAY CONCEAL A KING IN HIS HAND
WHILE THE MEMORY OF IT FADES
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE
THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
IF I TOLD HER THAT I LOVED YOU
YOU'D MAYBE THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
I'M NOT A MAN OF TOO MANY FACES
THE MASK I WEAR IS ONE
BUT THOSE WHO SPEAK KNOW NOTHING
AND FIND OUT TO THEIR COST
LIKE THOSE WHO CURSE THEIR LUCK IN TOO MANY PLACES
AND THOSE WHO FEAR ARE LOST
I KNOW THAT THE SPADES ARE THE SWORDS OF A SOLDIER
I KNOW THAT THE CLUBS ARE WEAPONS OF WAR
I KNOW THAT DIAMONDS MEAN MONEY FOR THIS ART
BUT THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE OF MY HEART
THAT'S NOT THE SHAPE
THE SHAPE OF MY HEART

Morning today's forecast calls for blue skies
Sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining
Everybody's in the lane
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity
Mr blue sky is living here today hey

You had to hide away for so long so long
Where did we go wrong?

A celebration mr blue sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

We were good we were gold
Kind of dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn
Mmm I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse no regret
I forget every word you said
Ooh I didn't wanna leave baby
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in sand
Talk to myself for hours yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better ooh I
I didn't wanna leave you I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (Uh huh)
Write my name in the sand (Ooh mmm)
Talk to myself for hours (Yeah)
Say things you don't understand
(Better than you)
I can take myself dancing (Yeah)
I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better baby (Uh)
Can love me better
I can love me better baby (Than you can)
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I
