Jack
Dc Lyrics

She gave me the queen
She offered me the second best option in the game of cards

She gave me the king
She offered me the best option in the game of cards

She was wheelin' and dealin'
She was using her skills to win the card game

Just doin' her thing
She was playing the card game the way she thinks is best

She was holdin' a pair
She had two cards of the same rank in her hand

But I had to try
The singer decided to take a chance and compete with her

Her deuce was wild
One of her cards had a special power, which was chosen randomly

But my ace was high
The singer believed his card was a powerful one, which could beat her card

But how was I to know
The singer had no way of knowing

That she'd been dealt with before
She was used to playing card games and had more experience than the singer

Said she'd never had a full house
She claimed to have never had three cards of the same rank and two cards of another rank

But I should have known
The singer realized later that he should have guessed that she was lying

From the tattoo on her left leg
The tattoo was a symbol of her love for gambling and card games

And the garter on her right
She wore a garter on her right leg, which is a garment usually worn by women to hold up their stockings, but here it is a symbol of her love for gambling and card games

She'd have the card to bring me down
She had the cards that could ruin the singer's game

If she played it right
If she used her skills and strategy to her advantage

She's got the jack
She had one of the cards with the lowest value in the game of cards

Poker face was her name
She was an expert at hiding her emotions and keeping a straight face while playing card games

Poker face was her nature
Playing card games and keeping a straight face was her natural talent

Poker straight was a game
Playing cards in a sequence without a break was her unique style

If she knew she could get you
If she spotted a weakness in the singer's game, she could use that to her advantage

She played 'em fast
She played her cards quickly

And she played 'em hard
She played her cards aggressively

She could close her eyes
She didn't have to look at the cards to know which ones she had

And feel every card
She was able to sense the value of the cards she held

That all the cards were comin'
All the cards were working in her favor

From the bottom of the pack
She had stacked the deck in her favor

And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
If the singer had known her strategy, he could have beat her at the game

I'd have dealt it back
He would have played his own strategy against her

Oh, it was a bad deal, (jack)
He ended up with a bad hand after the deal

She gave me the (jack), hey
She gave him the lowest card in the game

She's got the (jack), and who knows what else?
She could have many other low-value cards to work with

Ooh can't you tell
The singer realizes she has many more cards to bring him down

And it hurts
Losing the card game hurts the singer
