[Verse 1: Mutya & Heidi]
I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I can't stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this
I must insist
That a girl's got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I'm taking it into my own hands
In this man's land I can understand
Why I'm taking command
I've had enough of stuff
And now it's time to think about me, me yeah

[Pre-chorus: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good

[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

[Verse 2: Keisha]
I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back 'cause it's not the way it has to be

[Pre-chorus: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good

[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And I'm feeling good

[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
But that's not the shape of my heart

Sugababes

The Sugababes are an English pop girl-group formed in 1998 with its founding and current Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy. Their debut single “Overload” released in September 2000 to critical acclaim, followed by their debut album One Touch that November. In June 2001, Donaghy left the group as rumours arose of a rift between her and Buchanan.

Heidi Range was announced as the newest member of the group and with this, they experienced a boom in commercial success. The first single of the new line-up, “Freak Like Me” was released in April 2002 to more acclaim, followed by the group’s second album Angels with Dirty Faces that August. They released a further two studio albums, Three and Taller In More Ways, the latter led by the single “Push The Button” which became the group’s biggest hit to date. Just two months after the release of the album, it was revealed that Buena was leaving the group to pursue a solo career.

Amelle Berrabah was announced as Buena’s replacement, joining the group for a re-release of Taller In More Ways. A greatest hits collection, The Singles Collection, followed in November 2006. The group then returned with their fifth studio album Change in October 2007, led by lead single “About You Now” which became the group’s best-selling hit in the UK. Critics noted that the album was decidedly more mainstream pop than previous releases.
