You could say that I've been a winner
Played life like a game of poker
Then along came that silly Queen
Who made a fool of this joker

I just can't stand
Playing a losing hand
No No, I just can't stand
Holding that losing hand
Wish I would have listened
To what other players told me
Don't mess with that crazy Queen
You'd be better off to fold

I said I'll take my chances
Then the wild card came along
Thought stud was my best game
This little lady proved me wrong

I just can't stand
Playing a losing hand
No No, I just can't stand
Holding that losing hand
Wish I would have listened
To what other players told me
Don't mess with that crazy Queen
You'd be better off to fold
      
A new game, the stakes for keeps
Let me tell you what I found
I was looking pretty good
The Jack of Hearts slapped me down

I just can't stand
Playing a losing hand
No No, I just can't stand
Holding that losing hand
Wish I would have listened
To what other players told me
Don't mess with that crazy Queen
You'd be better off to fold

She smiled and raised me again
Her bluffing I had to call
Second place doesn't win
She was best again and beat 'em all
         
I just can't stand
Playing a losing hand
No No, I just can't stand
Holding that losing hand
Wish I would have listened
To what other players told me
Don't mess with that crazy Queen
You'd be better off to fold

Wish I would have listened
To what other players told me
Don't mess with that crazy Queen
You'd be better off to fold
