ACES
(Cheryl Wheeler)


Suzy Bogguss - 1991






Well my old friend said to me
That I ain't bein' what I'm supposed to be
Well I don't know, it could be true
I know I wasn't always there for you

And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

The things you think I should do
I've never understood that part of you
You know I've tried to be a friend
But you feel undermind and hurt again

Now don't let it convince you
Please don't take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run ev'rything you start
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

(Instrumental Break)

And I guess I said I couldn't see
How things could turn out like they've come to be
And if I lied and if I knew
Well I was only tryin' to think of you

And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
