As I sit here at the table Trading tales with other wives I wonder how they ended up With such satisfying lives I try not to get jealous Of all the things they're saying I keep my cards close to my chest now In the game that we're all playing I used to hold a King In life's game of stud poker A perfect hand, a perfect deal Flush with romance oh so real Our house was full of passion I felt just like a Queen But the hearts are fully broken now And I'm stuck here with the Joker Haven't got an Ace to play There's nothing more to try Got no tricks left up my sleeve The river has run dry I keep a smile upon my face Don't show that I am busted And so I make another draw From cards that can't be trusted There is no Tell, no way to see The things that I am thinking It's far too late to quit the game Though I know I am sinking I thought I picked a Diamond But instead I got a wreck For better and for worse my friend Somebody stacked the Deck I used to hold a King In life's game of stud poker A perfect hand, a perfect deal Flush with romance oh so real Our house was full of passion I felt just like a Queen But the hearts are fully broken now And I'm stuck here with the Joker I used to hold a King In life's game of stud poker A perfect hand, a perfect deal Flush with romance oh so real Our house was full of passion I felt just like a Queen But the hearts are fully broken now And I'm stuck here with the Joker Now I'm the dummy With the Joker
