[Verse 1]
There's something on your mind
I feel it every time I'm with you
It's what you like to do
Something I like to, let's get it tight

[Chorus]
If you play your cards right
(Everything will be alright)
Everything will be alright with me
(I'm leaving it all up to you, baby)
If you play your cards right
(And if you play your cards right, yeah yeah)
Everything will be alright with me

[Verse 2]
You won't have to hide what you feel inside
(What you feel inside)
My love is guaranteed
Play them right with me and you will see
(So play them right with me, baby, oh)

[Chorus]
If you play your cards right
(If you play your cards right, baby)
Everything will be alright with me
(Everything, everything's gonna be alright)
If you play your cards right
(Well, if you play your cards right, yeah)
Everything will be alright with me

[Bridge: Harmonizing]

[Chorus]
If you play your cards right
(If you play your cards right, baby)
Everything will be alright with me
(Everything, everything is gonna be alright)
If you play your cards right
(Well, if you play your cards right, baby)
Everything will be alright with me
(Ooh, I wanna hold you)
If you play your cards right
(Let me love you)
Everything will be alright with me
(Ooh baby, baby, baby)
If you play your cards right
(I wanna hold you)
Everything will be alright with me
(And make everything, make everything alright)
If you play your cards right
(Ooh baby)
Everything will be alright with me
(Everything will be alright, yeah)
If you play your cards right
(Let me hold you, and I wanna squeeze you)
Everything will be alright with me

[Outro]
If you play your cards right
Everything's gonna be alright
If you play your cards right with me
If you play your cards right
Everything's gonna be alright
If you play your cards right with me
If you play your cards right
Everything's gonna be alright
If you play your cards right with me
If you play your cards right
Everything's gonna be alright

Brownstone is an female R&B trio that came to fame in the mid-90’s. The original members of the group were Nicci Gilbert, Monica “Mimi” Doby, and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell.

They released their debut album From The Bottom Up on Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label. It featured the #1 R&B smash “If You Love Me”.

Before recording their second album Still Climbing, they replaced Monica “Mimi” Doby with Kina Cosper. The second album yielded a solid hit in “5 Miles To Empty”, but the group disbanded before a third album could materialize.
