Call the Cards
Words and music by Julie Black
Well Baby you've been around so long this time
You know I thought you wouldn't leave
but it was just some evil game you played
to bring me to my knees
Yeah I spilled out my affections
On some cold hearted dream
And I have to admit, you're the only one yet
Who could get the best of me
I call the cards out as they lay
I ain't askin' you to stay
Hey..I ain't askin' you to stay
In the past I held on so strong
When you said that you would go
But we've been round and round enough by now
Well, I'm old enough to know
Yeah I spilled out my affections
On some cold hearted dream
And I have to admit, you're the only one yet
Who could get the best of me
I call the cards out as they lay
I ain't askin' you to stay
Hey..I ain't askin' you to stay
Well you burned out all the fight in me
I've got nothing left to give
There is one thing that I understand
This ain't the way I want to live
I call the cards out as they lay
I ain't askin' you to stay
Hey..I ain't askin' you to stay
Gonna help you pack your bags
Gonna get you on your way
Gonna set my dark soul free
From the wicked web you weave
I ain't gonna let you stay
No I ain't gonna let you stay
Oh Ain't gonna, Ain't gonna
I Ain't gonna let you stay
Hey
Ain't gonna let you stay
