Ups&Downs: Card Game

I may not be a player,

But I got game.

Why pick them other dudes?

They’re all the same.

Sort of like my straight face

That never changes.

 

I need a queen because I’m royalty.

Luck ran out with the queen of charms,

Queen of spades was too violent,

Queen of clubs parties too much.

 

I need a queen of hearts.

I can’t depend on the stars

To get us together

And fix broken hearts.

I need a queen of hearts

To close all of the open scars

To get us together so we don’t fall apart.

 

We can start slow,

But let’s play speed

I may not be what you want,

But I’m definitely what you need.

No BS,

I can past your test.

Keep it 100 nothing less.

Our world is a deck of cards

And were shuffled after every game .

That’s why it’s not easy to get to know you

And give you my last name

That’s why I can’t get attached,

Because when I am she’s gone.

They say there’s more fish in the sea,

But I don’t want to go fish.

Even though I have great bait,

But the wrong girls bite.

The kind of girls I shouldn’t even like,

Even if some of those girl’s looks

Are hard to fight.

 

I need a queen of hearts

I can’t depend on the stars

To get us together

And fix broken hearts.

I need a queen of hearts

To close all of the open scars

To get us together so we don’t fall apart.

 

I don’t like solitaire.

What’s a king without a queen,

What’s a poem without a poet,

How could Adam live without Eve, I don’t wanna see you leave.

Where feelings fade

Like the painted hearts on my card.

 

I need a queen of hearts

I can’t depend on the stars

To get us together

And fix broken hearts.

I need a queen of hearts

To close all of the open scars

To get us together so we don’t fall apart.

 

Not really feeling no plain Janes

Don’t really like to play games, but no pain no gain

Right?

That’s the beauty of it.
