  • It was my fault, my move, my game
    If I'd known a little more, I'd a run away
    It was dark out and I held the cards
    I was the dealer and it wasn't hard

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

    It was my fault, my move, and my wine
    I see the sun now
    And it still shines
    But it was dark out
    And I held the cards

    Ooh, I was the dealer
    And it wasn't hard
    I was the mistress of my fate
    I was the card shark
    If I'd a looked a little ahead
    I'd a run away

    I was the mistress of my fate
    I gave it all out
    If I'd really known you then
    You'd a had to watch out

    I'll be the dancer
    You be the player
    I'll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here
    I'll be the passion
    You be the play
    I'll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here
    I'll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here

    I was the mistress of my fate
    I was the card shark
    If I'd a looked a little ahead
    I'd a run away
    I was the mistress of my fate
    I gave it all out
    If I'd really known you then
    You'd a had to watch out
    If I'd really known you then
    You'd a had to watch out Writer/s: Stephanie Nicks
