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 read your eyes
but i confess
it´s lonely far from you, oh

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?
wherever you are
i swear
you be my angel
you

i play my cards the 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 alright again
when you´re not here love it´s hard to pretend
it´s all alright but still
why do i beg like a child for your candy?
why do i run after you like i do, i love you?
whatever you are
i swear
you 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
