Show Your Cards

Lyrics

Verse
When Old Lefty went all in, I had Jacks but chose to fold
And I felt foolish when he smirked and showed his deuces in the hole
He said with poker and with love, I’ve learned you got to bet your hand
Then he downed his drink and laughed, if you want your chance to win

Chorus
Show your cards, make your play; trust your heart, get out of its way
Don’t wait for nothing from nobody, you got all you need
When the hand you see is everything you’ve dreamed, show your cards

Verse
I saw an angel at the next table, she took my breath away
When she looked at me and smiled, I thought I had no hand to play
Then she motioned to come over, man, that threw me for a loop
Lefty leaned on up to me and joked, you gonna fold on this one, too

Chorus
Or show your cards, make your play; trust your heart, get out of its way
Don’t wait for nothing from nobody, you got all you need
When the hand you see is everything you’ve dreamed, show your cards

Bridge
Well, I took a little time to think, better double down or she’ll be gone
So, I anteed up and bought her a drink, she said, what in heaven took you so long

Chorus
To show your cards, make your play; trust your heart, get out of its way
Don’t wait for nothing from nobody, you got all you need
When the hand you see is everything you’ve dreamed, show your cards
Don’t wait for nothing from nobody, you got all you need
When the hand you see is everything you’ve dreamed, show your cards
