Origineel
[Verse 1]
Didn’t want to play your cards right
Thought I was your diamond ’til you broke my heart
Only wish you had your mind right
Would’ve told you hit the road jack from the start
All you had to do was play fair
I would’ve the king of spades without a care
And you know I would’ve been there
[Chorus]
But I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I said I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I choose to fold the game is over
You wanted to play the joker
So now you’re playing solitaire
[Verse 2]
I was trying to make a full house
Then you ran and made a royal flush with my love
I was trying to make it all count
Obviously it just wasn’t enough
You’re my castle you’re my fortress
Girl your loving was the warmest
Now you’re shoulder is the coldest
I’m running out of choices
[Chorus](x2)
But I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I said I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I choose to fold the game is over
You wanted to play the joker
So now you’re playing solitaire
(we could have been king and queen x3)
But I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I said I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I choose to fold the game is over
You wanted to play the joker
So now you’re playing solitaire
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Didn’t want to play your cards right
Dacht dat ik je diamant was tot je mijn hart brak
Only wish you had your mind right
Would’ve told you hit the road jack from the start
All you had to do was play fair
Ik zou de schoppenkoning zijn geweest zonder zorgen
En je weet dat ik er geweest zou zijn
[Chorus]
Maar ik moet dit pokerspel veranderen in solitaire
Ik zei dat ik dit pokerspel moest veranderen in patience
Ik kies ervoor om te passen het spel is voorbij
Je wilde de joker spelen
Dus nu speel je solitaire.
[Verse 2]
Ik probeerde een full house te maken
Toen rende je weg en maakte je een royal flush met mijn liefde
I was trying to make it all count
Blijkbaar was het gewoon niet genoeg
You’re my castle you’re my fortress
Meisje, jouw liefde was het warmst
Nu is je schouder het koudst
I’m running out of choices
[Chorus](x2)
Maar ik moet dit pokerspel in solitaire veranderen
Ik zei dat ik dit pokerspel moest veranderen in patience
Ik kies ervoor om te passen het spel is over
Je wilde de joker spelen.
So now you’re playing solitaire
(we hadden koning en koningin x3 kunnen zijn)
But I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
I said I got to turn this poker game to solitaire
Ik kies ervoor om te passen, het spel is over
You wanted to play the joker
So now you’re playing solitaire
