"Queen Charade" lyrics - DAVID PAICH

[Intro:]
Hey, hey

I'm in love with a lady and I don't even know her name
Well, I'll find her right about midnight, sniffing for a three card game
She wants it all and she'll take all you got
Forty thousand rubles, she only drinks the best champagne

[Chorus:]
Hey, hey
Who you gonna fool today?
Hey, hey
Better throw your cards away
She's a high rollin' countess with her picture on the blade
Cuts the deck like a knife
They call her Queen Charade

Well, you know she's a teaser with her clandestine escapades (Ooh, yeah)
Her sleight of hand is second to none, we're just easy prey (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
Put me out of my misery, I can't stand the pain
Gutted at the gaming table, it's a bleeding shame

[Chorus:]
Hey, hey
Who you gonna fool today?
Hey, hey
Better throw your cards away
She's a high rollin' countess with her picture on the blade
Cuts the deck like a knife
Talkin' 'bout Queen Charade

[Bridge:]
Put me out of my misery, I can't stand the pain (Can't stand the pain)
Gutted at the gaming table, it's a bleeding shame

[Chorus:]
Hey, hey
Who you gonna woo today?
Hey, hey
Better throw your cards away
Well, it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get greedy
She's my Queen Charade
(My Queen Charade)

[Outro:]
Let me see if I can win my money back
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Talkin' 'bout my Queen Charade
She's my Queen Charade (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She's my Queen Charade
