Stevie Nicks – The Dealer lyrics
It was my fault, my move and my game
If I'd of looked a little ahead I'd of run away
It was dark out and I held the cards
Well I was a dealer... ooh, and it wasn't hard

I was a mistress of my fate...
I was the card shark
If I'd of looked just a little ahead I'd of run away
I was the mistress of my fate... oh, I gave it all out
But if you'd really known me then...
You'd of had to watch out
You'd of had to watch out

It was my fault, my moves, and my wine
I see the sun now... and it's just fine
But it was dark out... oooh, I held the cards
I guess I am the dealer!
Oooh, and it isn't hard

Well I was the mistress of my fate
I was the card shark
Jesse showed me at an early age
I could get away
I was a mistress of my fate,
I tried to give it all out
If you'd really known me then
You'd of had to watch out
You'd of had to watch out

Oooh, I was a mistress of my fate
I was the card shark
Jesse showed me as a little girl
Oh, I could get away
I was the mistress of my fate
Ooh, I had to find out...
If you'd really known me then,
You'd have had to watch out

Tried to tell you then... watch out!
Baby, you believe it, now watch out!
I'll be the dancer
And you be the player
And I'll dance around you
If you stay here
Whoa, I'll be the passion
Could you be the play?
Oh, I'll just almost hold you
And you'll just almost stay

You just... almost... stay
Baby, just... almost... stay
I'm still the dealer...
I try hard to be the dealer...
Don't want to be the dancer...
Tell her that I am the dealer...
