lyrics

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve got twenty-one
You were my queen-of-hearts
Busted, I fell apart

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve tricked everyone
Dealt me, and then deceived
What was hidden up your sleeve
But you were my queen-of-hearts
And you were my queen-of-hearts

You’d always complain how people were mean
You’d always tell me how no one was kind
I believed you and I took your side
But then you were just like them
Then you were just like them

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve got twenty-one
You were my queen-of-hearts
Busted, I fell apart

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve tricked everyone
Dealt me, and then deceived
What was hidden up your sleeve
But you were my queen-of-hearts
And you were my queen-of-hearts

I’m happy for you, that you made it this far
I’m glad I could help you – get your foot in the door
But I wish you would say something
say something kind
I wish you’d apologize – I wish you’d apologize

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve got twenty-one
You were my queen-of-hearts
Busted, I fell apart

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve tricked everyone
Dealt me, and then deceived
What was hidden up your sleeve
But you were my queen-of-hearts
You were my queen

Oh, blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve got twenty-one
You were my queen-of-hearts
Busted, I fell apart

Blackjack, blackjack
Now you’ve tricked everyone
Dealt me, and then deceived
What was hidden up your sleeve
But you were my queen-of-hearts
Always my queen-of-hearts
