Lyrics
THREE DON?T MAKE A PAIR
(c) 2006 Christina Ray (BMI) All Rights Reserved
There he was just sittin? there as smoke filled the room
Some brunette hanging on his arm, one of his others I presume
Well, I stood there for a single moment, to watch the two of them
He reached over to place his bet, with one hand on her hem
So, I walked up close to catch his eye, as she puckered for the dice
That son of a gun, two-timing, good for nothing, low-life!
As those snake eyes hit the table, his looked all around
And then he realized he had lost much more than I had found
CHORUS:
Then he said, ?Baby we?re a couple, hey I don?t know that girl, I swear?
I said, ?Honey, I got a new game for you ? it?s called, Solitaire!
Then he said, ?Baby I?m so sorry, hey girl you know how much I care?
I said, ?Honey, you?ve just lost this hand, ?cos three don?t make a pair?
Oh yeah, three don?t make a pair
That?s right, three don?t make a pair! So there!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and that?s where I?m leaving him
Well oh yeah, he?ll be right at home, in the city built for sin
Tried to sober quick, that drunken fool as he stumbled over to me
Sportin? his best poker face, but I knew what I?d just seen
Apologizing, realizing he broke that golden rule
Well this Queen of Heart?s no Joker, and I won?t be played for a fool
Then he said, ?Baby we?re a couple, hey I don?t know that girl, I swear?
I said, ?Honey, I got a new game for you ? it?s called, Solitaire!
Then he said, ?Baby I?m so sorry, hey girl you know how much I care?
I said, ?Honey, you?ve just lost this hand, ?cos three don?t make a pair?
Oh yeah, three don?t make a pair?
Then he said, ?Baby I?m so sorry, hey girl you know how much I care?
I said, ?Honey, you?ve just lost this hand, ?cos three don?t make a pair?
Oh yeah, three don?t make a pair
That?s right, three don?t make a pair! So there!
