Lyrics
THE UPPER HAND
WHEN IT COMES TO WINNING YOU PLAY HARD
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LET DOWN YOUR GUARD
NO MATTER HOW I PLAY THE GAME
THE END RESULT IS STILL THE SAME
IF I LAY DOWN A JACK YOU PLAY THE QUEEN
YOU'VE GOT THE BEST HANDS I'VE EVER SEEN
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA GET UP AND LEAVE
CAUSE I KNOW YOU'VE GOT SOME CARDS TUCKED UNDER YOUR SLEEVE
YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS IN SUCH A WAY
THAT I HAVE NO CHANCE TO GET AWAY
YOU BRING ME IN, I CAN'T WITHSTAND
YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD THE UPPER HAND
YOU HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
AND I'M SURE TO BE THE LOSER WHEN THIS GAME IS DONE
BUT I'VE FINALLY FOUND MY ACE IN THE HOLE
A WAY TO MAKE UP FOR ALL THOSE HEARTS YOU STOLE
I FOUND A NEW DECK OF CARDS JUST YESTERDAY
AND I AIN'T NEVER GONNA LET YOU COME NEAR TO PLAY
GOT A NEW KING OF HEARTS YOU UNDERSTAND
AND YOU'LL NEVER AGAIN HAVE THE UPPER HAND
YOU PLAYED YOUR CARDS IN SUCH A WAY
THAT I NEVER SEEMED ABLE TO GET AWAY
YOU BROUGHT ME IN, I COULDN'T WITHSTAND
BUT NOW I'M THE ONE WITH THE UPPER HAND
THE UPPER HAND, THE UPPER HAND...
