the odds were stacked against him
nothing went as it should
the suite of cards just weren't for him
they weren't much good

his darling deserted him
she left him for another guy
she lost that loving feeling for him
leaving him with not a dry eye

he sat all alone recalling
how dear she was to him
all those loving memories
came flooding on back to him

his life was never going
to be the same
the cards he was dealt
ended their love game

no trump
card did he receive
she lost that loving feeling
leaving him to grieve
