DEAD ON MY FEET (AGAIN) 
 
Shall I raise the stakes? 
Fold for both our sakes?  
Wink when my eyes meet your poker-face? 
As your sell-by date's expired, 
You don't comprehend: I'm very tired of you. 
 
Shall I stick or twist, 
Or compile a list 
Of every single move I've ever made? 
Oh, I see you call my bluff! 
I throw in my hand – I've had enough of you. 
 
Yet I won't grieve, 
I've an ace up my sleeve. 
 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
 
I'm the Jack of Hearts, 
You're the Queen of Hearts: 
Now I feel you've got one up on me. 
Here's the deck and take your pick. 
Please don't shuffle hard – I'm feeling sick of you. 
 
Yet I won't grieve, 
I've a trick up my sleeve. 
 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
We've been playing games forever, 
Now these ties I'll have to sever. 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
 
Yet I won't grieve, 
I've seen things you won't believe! 
 
Shall I raise the stakes? 
Fold for both our sakes? 
Wink when my eyes meet your poker-face? 
As your sell-by date's expired, 
You don't comprehend: I'm very tired of you. 
 
Yet I won't grieve, 
I've an ace up my sleeve. 
 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
I'm dead on my feet again. 
We've been playing games forever, 
Now these ties I'll have to sever. 
I'm dead on my feet again.
