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

(Chorus)
Say my name, say my name if no one is around you
say baby i love you if you aint runnin game
Say my name, say my name you actin kinda shady
aint callin me baby why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name
if no one is around you
say baby i love you
if you aint runnin game
Say my name, say my name
you actin kinda shady
aint callin me baby
Better say my name!

(verse 1)
Any other day i would call
you would say
baby how's your day ?
but today it aint the same
every other word is
Uh Huh, Yea Okay,
could it be that you,
are at the crib with anotha lady?
If you took it there first if all
let me say, i am not the one
to sit around and be played
so prove your self to me,
or the girl that you claim
why don't you say the thangs
that you said to me yesterday?

(Bridge)
I know you say that i am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
Cause I know how you useually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who

(Chorus)

(Verse2)
What is up with this?
Tell the truth,
who you with ?
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
you said you just got in the house.
It's hard to believe that you,
are at home, by yourself
when i just heard the voice
heard the voice of someone else.
Just this question
Why do you feel you gotta lie?
Gettin caught up in your game
when you can not say my name

(Bridge)
I know you say that i am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
Cause I know how you useually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who

(chorus)
