5 Card Draw

Beauty depends on the one who is beholding

Love can be a losing game so now I’m folding

Losing at the game of love can be very hard

This time you pick the game I’ll deal the cards

All bets are final be careful what you choose

I’m playing with my heart I can’t afford to lose

Let’s do this again I’m willing to go that extra mile

This time double or nothing, no jokers and nothings wild

Check or bet this time the bets on you

How many cards you need cause I only want two

No cheating this time you got to promise to play fair

I got three of a kind and that beats your two pair

Losing won’t cost you much its only a game of cards

I don’t want your money I only want your heart
