shape of my heart (sting)

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those the plays never suspect
He doesnt play for the money he wins
He doesnt play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The number lead a dance

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

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

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

And if I told you that I loced you
Youd maybe think theres something wrong
Im not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who spead know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

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