SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A WOMAN
GIVING ALL YOUR LOVE TO JUST ONE MAN
YOU'LL HAVE BAD TIMES
AND HE'LL HAVE GOOD TIMES
DOIN' THINGS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
BUT IF YOU LOVE HIM YOU'LL FORGIVE HIM
EVEN THOUGH HE'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
AND IF YOU LOVE HIM OH BE PROUD OF HIM
'CAUSE AFTER ALL HE'S JUST A MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
GIVE HIM TWO ARMS TO CLING TO
AND SOMETHING WARM TO COME TO
WHEN NIGHTS ARE COLD AND LONELY
STAND BY YOUR MAN,
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN

It's 12.45 on a tuesday
I don't really care what you say
I'm just getting off my face tonight
Cause I'm just tryna live till the weekend
And I don't know
How I'm supposed to breathe when
Everything you say is playing on my mind
You don't know where I've been
And you don't know what I'm drinking
I need a moment to
Think about nothing at all
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
It's getting pretty deep in the AM
And I should go home but I'm staying
I'll be sleeping on the cold floor tonight
I hope you'll understand in the morning
This is just my problem that I'm solving
Yeah I got a lot of stuff on my mind
I don't know where I've been
And what the hell am I drinking?
And I can't help but to think yeah
It's all my fault
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
Oh one night
Just one night off
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
Just one night off
I love you but I just need tonight off
It's 12.45 on a tuesday
I don't really care what you say
I'm just getting off my face tonight

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
