James Young/Dennis DeYoung)



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 so alone, but aware

I try to escape, she finds me

Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there...



Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone

She'll bring you things, many things you might 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



CHORUS

Beware of the Queen of Spades

Her black widow's curse might find you yet

Beware of a love that you will regret

Her love means only your death



Day into night she's with me

Turn of a card, she's there

The first time is free, you know

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



CHORUS
