Honey Cone - Ace In The Hole lyrics

rate me

(Angelo Bond/McKinley Jackson/Greg Perry/General Johnson)

They say a King can beat a Queen

But a Ace in the hole beats everything

Oh... yeah

Do you know what I mean? (Oo...oo...)

You're free to go

I got a Ace in the hole

A shoulder to cry on

Someone to rely on

Oh, you're free to go

I got a Ace in the hole

When your love effects 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 lovin' another

But I played my cards right when I found me a lover

Oh, you're free to go

I got a Ace in the hole

A shoulder to cry on

Someone to rely on

Oh, you're free to go

I got a Ace in the hole

When your love effects 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 cheatin' (Cheatin', cheatin')

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 effects me,

He'll be there to take me (Take me, take me)

Ohh... oh...oh...oh..oh...

[Saxophone solo]

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 a Ace in the hole

A shoulder to cry on

Someone to rely on

Oh, you're free to go

I got a Ace in the hole

When you're love effects me,

He'll be there to take me (Take me, take me)

Oh, now get it (You're free to go)

Get on out... (Ace in the hole)
