Tom Odell - Queen of Diamonds lyrics

The casino floor is full of men so frightened
Trying to make good pay to win or lose
We know just how our night ends
Gonna throw it all away

Oh, but suddenly you draw
The queen of diamonds
And everyone around you turns to silence
Another plea to keep the repo
Man from dialling your name again and again

You think of all the gifts
That you would give her
Trying to make her stay, oh
And you remember all the love
She carried with her
Like a bitter cheap champagne​
Now that's history
You've drawn the queen of diamonds
It'll be limousines and Caribbean islands
You can't wait to see her
Standing there just smiling
For a change, change, for a change
What a fools game, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh

Those whiskey drinks
They give you your ambition
While the bar ladies
They work for their commission
But it doesn't stop a
Sucker like you wishing, and away
Oh, how can it be you
Draw the queen of diamonds
It was limousines and Caribbean islands
What you didn't see is the dealer
He was hiding an ace an ace, what an ace
What a cruel, cruel game, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
