Shape

Written by：Sting/Dominic Miller/Craigie

I live my life in chains

Got my hands in chains

And I can't stick with the cards

That I got with a deal

Like this I must insist

That a girl's got more to do

Then be the way you think a woman should

I'm taking it into my own hands

In this man's land I can understand

Why I'm taking command

Had enough of stuff

And now it's time to think about me

Me yeah

And you can easily gamble your life away

Second after second

And day by day

You play the game or you walk away

It's a new turn on a blue day

And a cool deal of life for me

And it's all good

I know that the spades

Are the swords of a soldier soldier

I know that the clubs

Are weapons of war

I know that diamonds

Mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe

Give me the courage to back my own convictions

Every decision I make

I pay

It back and more

Now turn the cards and let them fall to me

'Cause I don't need to play on with the hand

That they have given me

I'll give it back 'cause it's

Not the way it has to be

And you can easily gamble your life away

Second after second

And day by day

You play the game or you walk away

It's a new turn on a blue day

And a cool deal of life for me

And it's all good

I know that the spades

Are the swords of a soldier soldier

I know that the clubs

Are weapons of war

Yeah

I know that diamonds

Mean money for this art

Aah but that's not the shape of my heart

That's not the shape

Shape of my heart

My heart

That's not the shape of my heart

And you can easily gamble your life away

Second after second

And day by day

You play the game or you walk away

It's a new turn on a blue day

And you can easily gamble your life away

Second after second

And day by day

Yeah

You play the game or you walk away

It's a new turn on a blue day

And a cool deal of life for me

And it's all good

I know that the spades

Are the swords of a soldier soldier

I know that the clubs

Are weapons of war

Ooh

I know that diamonds

Mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

But that's not the shape of my heart

But that's not the shape

The shape of my heart
