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... Ooh, I held the cards
I guess I am the dealer!
Ooh, 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
Ooh, 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
