They say a king can beat a queen But an ace in the hole beats everything Oh, yeah, do you know what I mean? (Ooh, ooh) You're free to go, I got an ace in the hole A shoulder to cry on, someone to rely on Oh, you're free to go, I got an ace in the hole When your love affects me, he'll be there to take me (Take me, take me) You dealt me love from the bottom of the deck The love we've built will let another wreck You were two-timing, just loving another But I played my cards right when I found me a lover Oh, you're free to go, I got an ace in the hole A shoulder to cry on, someone to rely on Oh, you're free to go, I got an ace in the hole When your love affects me, he'll be there to take me (Take me, take me) Reeling and a-dealing (Reeling and a-dealing) Now you lost a feeling (Now you lost a feeling)
I was afraid one day you'll leave And to ease the pain, I'd slip the card up my sleeve I knew you were cheating (Cheating, cheating) I can see it on your face But I didn't wanna leave so I played it safe (Played it safe) Oh, you're free to go, I got a Ace in the hole When your love affects me, he'll be there to take me (Take me, take me) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Git it, git it, git on up You played a losing hand Now get it, get it, get on up I got a new ol' man (Oh) Oh, you're free to go, I got an ace in the hole A shoulder to cry on, someone to rely on Oh, you're free to go, I got an ace in the hole When your love affects me, he'll be there to take me (Take me, take me, take me, take me) Oh, now get it (You're free to go) Get on out (Ace in the hole)
