no cheap thrill
Lyrics:Suzanne Vega Music:Suzanne Vega
Ante up. And dont be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
Whats underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
Hes got a cool hand but it isnt for me.
Butcher Boy thinks hell be splitting the pot.
But Ive seen what hes got and it isnt a lot.
(When deuces are wild you can follow the queen.
Id go too except I know where shes been.)
Ill see you, Ill call you, Ill raise you
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
Ill see you, Ill call you, Ill raise you
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
Ill match you, Ill bet you, Ill play you,
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
