HBVO:

I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I step when it comes to a guy with a girl like this
I must have sensed that girls are born to do
To be the way you think a woman should
I’m taking it into my own hands
And dismantling; I can…
Understand why I’m taking command
I had enough, of stuff
And now it’s time to think about me…, me, yeah

CHORUS (HBVO):

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It’s a new time, on a blue day
And a new chillin’ life for me
And it’s all good

CHORUS (STING):

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know the clubs are the weapons of war
I know the diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

HBVO:

I’ve always played it safe; nothing’s ever safe
Gimme the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make, I pay; you pack ‘em all, I turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cuz’ I don’t need to play on, with the hand that they have given me
I give ‘em back, cuz’ it’s not the way it has to be

CHORUS (HBVO):

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second and a day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It’s a new time, on a blue day
And a new chillin’ life for me
And it’s all good

CHORUS (STING):

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know the clubs are the weapons of war

CHORUS (HBVO):

I know the diamonds mean money for this art

CHORUS (STING):

But that’s not the shape of my heart

CHORUS (HBVO & STING):
That’s not the shape… Shape of my heart…
My heart
My heart

CHORUS (HBVO):

That’s not the shape of my heart

And you can easily gamble your heart away
Second after second; and a day by day…

CRAIG DAVID:

I always said that I was gonna make it
Now it’s plain for everyone to see
But this game I’m in don’t take any prisoners
Just casualties
I know that everything is gonna change
Even the friends I knew before I go
But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for

Started believing that I was the greatest
My life was never gonna be the same
Cuz’ with the money came a different status
That’s when things changed

Now I’m too concerned with all the things I own
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
I’m beginning to lose my integrity

CHORUS (STING):

Sometimes in life, you feel the fight is over
(over…)
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Super sigh; you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call… the rise and fall…

I never used to be a trouble-maker; now I don’t even wanna please the fans
No autographs, no interviews, no pictures
And less demands

Gave in to vices that were clearly wrong
The type that seems to make me feel so right
But some things you may find can take over your life

Burned all bridges now I’ve run out of places
And there’s nowhere left for me to turn
Been caught in compromising situations; I should have learned
From all those times I didn’t walk away
When I knew that it was best to go
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?

CHORUS (STING):

Sometimes in life, you feel the fight is over
(over…)
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Super sigh; you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call… the rise and fall…
