Number One Honest Game Lyrics by John Hiatt

Number One Honest Game Lyrics

    Well the ace of spades, walkin' on the water
    The joker's only daughter, in love with the king of hearts
    Ooooh and the jack of clubs is kissin' the queen of diamonds
    Oh, she's such a shy one, until that dancing starts

    It's a house of cards
    I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
    But there's no one to blame
    In the number one honest game
    Playin' the number one honest game

    You got deuces wild, go find yourself a partner
    Tell her that you love her, before she checks your bet
    Seven's up try again tomorrow, it's only a life of sorrow
    This love you can't forget

    It's a house of cards
    I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
    But there's no one to blame
    In the number one honest game
    We're playin' the number one honest game

    Girl, my heart's not rigged nor gone astray
    I'm lookin' for that timeless game to play
    The way you move fills me with desire
    But if you play with me, girl, you're playin' with fire...i'm burnin' up

    Count your suits, add up all your markers
    Now that you have found her, you take the love you want
    Ooooh, you want mine, i'd give you kind and gentle
    Just forget the mental, you put your heart in front

    'cause it's a house of cards
    I guess it can blow too hard and the aces all fall down
    But there's no one to blame
    In the number one honest game
    We're playin' the number one honest game
    Playin' the number one honest game
    Playin' the number one honest game...
