Shape (Salaam Remi Remix)

I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I can't stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this I must insist
That a girl's got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I'm taking it into my own hands
In this man's land I can understand
Why I'm taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now it's time to think about me, me yeah

[And you can easily gamble your life awaySecond after secondAnd day by dayYou play the game or you walk awayIt's a new turn on a blue dayAnd a cool deal of life for meAnd it's all good]

[I know that the spades are the swords of a soldierI know that the clubs are weapons of warI know that diamonds mean money for this artBut that's not the shape of my heart]

I've always played it safe nothing'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 don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back cos it's not the way it has to be

[And you can easily gamble your life awaySecond after secondAnd day by dayYou play the game or you walk awayIt's a new turn on a blue dayAnd a cool deal of life for meAnd it's all good]

[I know that the spades are the swords of a soldierI know that the clubs are weapons of warI know that diamonds mean money for this artBut that's not the shape of my heart]

That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
My heart
That's not the shape of my heart

[And you can easily gamble your life awaySecond after secondAnd day by dayYou play the game or you walk awayIt's a new turn on a blue dayAnd you can easily gamble your life awaySecond after secondAnd day by dayYou play the game or you walk awayIt's a new turn on a blue dayAnd a cool deal of life for meAnd I'm feeling good]

[I know that the spades are the swords of a soldierI know that the clubs are weapons of warI know that diamonds mean money for this artBut that's not the shape of my heartBut that's not the shapeThats not the shape... The shape of my heart]
