(Kim Carnes)



The king of hearts has won the final inning

He's made his move and played his hand so well

Everyone thinks he's got it made

'Cause no one can tie him down

Everybody says he was a damn fool

For givin' me the run-around



All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

After all the talk I guess he won the prize

He never meant to stay

How could be do it to me

Everybody says I was a damn fool

To listen to his run-around



Now I was tryin' to act just like a lady

I turned him down

Then he took me by surprise

Now who would have thought that a girl like me

Could be swayed so easily

Everybody says I was a damn fool

'Cause I gave what he took for free



All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

After all the talk I guess he won the prize

He never meant to stay

How could be do it to me

Everybody says I was a damn fool

To listen to his run-around



The king of hearts can't play his game forever

And the jester's not the fool when the king is old

Later on will he think of me

When his castle walls get cold

Will he care to call

Will he caere at all



All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me

All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
