Sting — Shape of My Heart My Songs Version

[Verse 1] He deals the cards as a meditation Those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don’t play for respect [Verse 2] He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chanc The hidden law of a probable outcome While the numbers lead a dance [Chorus] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart [Verse 3] He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While a memory of it fades [Chorus] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart [Post-Chorus] That’s not the shape The shape of my heart [Instrumental ​​Interlude]​​ [Verse 4] And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces This mask I wear is one [Verse 5] For those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear have lost [Chorus] I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart [Post-Chorus] And that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart [Outro] The shape of my heart
