the odds were stacked against him
nothing went as it should
the suit of cards just weren't for him
they weren't much good

his darling deserted him
she left him to be with another guy
she lost that loving feeling for him
leaving him without a dry eye

he sat all alone recalling
how dear she was to him
all those loving memories
flooding on back to him

his life was never going
to be the same
the cards he was dealt
bought closure to their love game

no trump card did he receive
she lost that loving feeling
leaving him to grieve
