The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say a king can beat a queen
But a ace in the hole beats everything
Oh... yeah
Do you know what i mean? (oo...oo...)
You're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love effects me,
He'll be there to take me (take me, take me)
You dealt me love from the bottom of the deck
The love we've built will let another wreck
You were two-timing, just lovin' another
But i played my cards right when i found me a lover
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love effects me,
He'll be there to take me (take me, take me)
Reeling and a-dealing (reeling and a-dealing)
Now you lost a feeling (now you lost a feeling)
I was afraid one day you'll leave
And to ease the pain, i'd slip the card up my sleeve
I knew you were cheatin' (cheatin', cheatin')
I can see it on your face
But i didn't wanna leave, so i played it safe
(played it safe)
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love effects me,
He'll be there to take me (take me, take me)
Ohh... oh...oh...oh..oh...
[saxophone solo]
Git it, git it, git on up
You played a losing hand
Now get it, get it, get on up
I got a new ol' man (oh!)
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
Oh, you're free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love effects me,
He'll be there to take me (take me, take me)
Oh, now get it (you're free to go)
Get on out... (ace in the hole)
