Text: John Hiatt. Warming Up To The Ice Age. Number One Honest Game.

Well the Ace of Spades, walkin' on the water

The joker's only daughter, in love with the king of hearts

Ooooh and the Jack of Clubs is kissin' the Queen of Diamonds

Oh, she's such a shy one, until that dancing starts



It's a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But there's no one to blame

In the number one honest game

Playin' the number one honest game



You got deuces wild, go find yourself a partner

Tell her that you love her, before she checks your bet

Seven's up try again tomorrow, it's only a life of sorrow

This love you can't forget



It's a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But there's no one to blame

In the number one honest game

We're playin' the number one honest game



Girl, my heart's not rigged nor gone astray

I'm lookin' for that timeless game to play

The way you move fills me with desire

But if you play with me, girl, you're playin' with fire...I'm burnin' up



Count your suits, add up all your markers

Now that you have found her, you take the love you want

Ooooh, you want mine, I'd give you kind and gentle

Just forget the mental, you put your heart in front



'Cause It's a house of cards

I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down

But there's no one to blame

In the number one honest game

We're playin' the number one honest game

Playin' the number one honest game

Playin' the number one honest game...
