I'm a gambler,
Reckless half the time,
Putting my fortune
On the line.

I've been crazy
With money and women, too.
Now I'm crazy
In love with you.

You're the queen of hearts.
You'll win my hand.
You have the cards
To get your man.

You're the queen of hearts,
And I'm your king.
This gambler knows
Our love's a sure thing.

I was restless,
Out half the night,
Trying to make
The cards come right.

But now I spend
More time in your home,
‘Cause you're the surest bet
I've ever known.

You're the queen of hearts.
You'll win my hand.
You have the cards
To get your man.

You're the queen of hearts,
And I'm your king.
This gambler knows
Our love's a sure thing.

My poker partners
Began to look the same.
I wanted
Another game.

I got a good deal
When I got you.
That's a game
I'll never lose.

You're the queen of hearts.
You'll win my hand.
You have the cards
To get your man.

You're the queen of hearts,
And I'm your king.
This gambler knows
Our love's a sure thing.
