There Was Trouble In The Air
Just A Subtle Hint Of Danger
And A Woman Dressed In Black
Out Lookin' For A Stranger
Well She Took Me To Her Room
Where She Offered Me A Wager
She Promised Me The Moon
So I Took A Chance
Yes I Played The King Of Hearts
Put My Cards Out On The Table
I Thought The Odds Were In My Favour
But She Laid The Ace Of Spades
An' I Wound Up Where I Started
The King Of Hearts No More
But The King Of The Broken-hearted
She Cut The Deck One More
By The Light Of Thirteen Candles
She Said, "the Winner Takes It All --
Is That Too Much For You To Handle?
So I Wandered Through My Playing Cards
And Tried To Understand Her
I Was Lookin' For A Face
It Was Right There In My Hand
Yes I Played The King Of Hearts
Put My Cards Out On The Table
I Thought The Odds Were In My Favour
But She Laid The Ace Of Spades
An' I Wound Up Where I Started
The King Of Hearts No More
But The King Of The Broken-hearted
