When you get what you want It's hard to catch pity When you're guilty as charged It's hard to look pretty When you scream in your room, does anyone hear it? Do you cover your mouth and keep it a secret? If you make the girls dance The boy with dance with them If you play the right cards The stack will get bigger When you gamble your winnings away And you work up the nerve just to play If you make the girls dance The boys will dance with them Well I hope you still take your trips to the river And the sound of my voice is giving you shivers When you're running away, does anyone see you? Do you cut your hair short and try to conceal it? If you make the girls dance The boys will dance with them If you play the right cards The stack will get bigger When you gamble your winnings away And work up the nerve just to play If you make the girls dance The boys will dance with them
