i'm tired, dear
i hold all my cards close

but i think i'm done with the game

i may just have to get up

and walk away from the table

it's been so long since i've had a good round

and i'm wondering just how stacked

the deck is against me

however, if you but ask...

i'll show you my hand

i won't cheat you
you'll know precisely where you stand
and what you're dealing with
before you sit down at my table
i won't let you bet away your future

but i'm tired, dear
these games are easily-played

with youth and luck on your side
when you've just recently learned the ropes

and you've got something to prove
but see, i'm getting older now

the table's losing its luster
i'm slowly starting to not care about the next throw
i'll sit on the sidelines and watch them all go
and remember what it was like when i began
but if you actually want to play
i'll make it worth your while
i've got a lifetime of observations
and an unbound imagination
spiced with creativity
and seasoned with experience
to plan and strategize with
i'll make your game worthwhile
