Day into night she's with me,

How sweet is her warm embrace,

Safe in the scent of jasmine,

So safe in her gold and lace.



Mornings I find she's left me,

So cold and so alone, but aware,

I try to escape, she finds me,

Run though I may,

She's there There There There There.....



Luck is a lady whose smile is cold as a stone

She'll bring you things, many things you may never have known.

But when your die is cast, she'll have the final laugh at you

She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool,



Beware of the Queen of Spades,

Her black widow's curse might find you yet.

Beware of the love that you will regret,

Her love means only your death.



Day into night, she's with me,

A turn of a card, she's there,

The first time is free, you know,

But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me.



Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha   You Lose



Beware of the queen of spades,

Her black widow's curse might find you yet,

Beware of the love you will regret,

Her love means only your death



Beware of the queen of spades,

Her black widow's curse might find you yet,

Beware of the love you will regret,

Her love means only your death
