Poker-themed songs I like, volume 1...

...Comes to us from the Dave Matthews Band. This song is called "Angel."


I call you up - you pick up
you call my bluff on the cards of love
you hold too close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes but I confess

It's lonely far from you, even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you to take my hand

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you!

Whatever you are I swear you'll be my angel - you.

I play my cards best I can
but I lose my luck when you're not here
my darling heart, won't you please give in?
I may be strong but I want you back again

When you're not here, it's hard to pretend it's all right again
when you're not here, love, it's hard to pretend it's all all right - still...

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run me after you like I do? I love you!

Whatever you are I swear you'll be my angel - you.

Watch the deck - count your cards
makes no sense that I'm always losing when you're gone

Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you!

Whatever you are I swear you'll be my angel - you.

When you're gone...
