I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I canÂ’t stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this I must insist
That a girlÂ’s got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
IÂ’m taking it into my own hands
In this manÂ’s land I can't understand
Why IÂ’m taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now itÂ’s time to think about me !
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
ItÂ’s a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And itÂ’s all good
IÂ’ve always played it safe nothingÂ’s ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cos I donÂ’t need to play on with the hand that they have given me
IÂ’ll give it back cos itÂ’s not the way it has to be .
