Oh, it's all or nothing Queen of diamonds And a second cousin Come in, sign your name For this deadly game Babylon was Draped in haze And nobody Had seen the night in days She was dancing in a room In a violet sweater I said, "To know her Is to regret her" Oh, it's now or never Don't think of me whenever Someone has to take the blame For this deadly game
Daddy won't be home Until a little later And he'll be looking For his little instigator Take whatever Means are handy To know me Is to understand me Oh, it's not that easy Immaculate but a little greasy Sometimes they're not the same In this deadly game Polly said to Jack, "Baby, I like your style Would you step over here For a little while?" I said, "I'll see you later." To know her Is to hate her Oh, it's time for action A pile of words and a cool retraction No time for shame In this deadly game
