lyrics

Everyone knows you're a nice guy
'Course nobody knows about her
She's the game that you deal on the side
On that odd weekday night when you say you're at work

And sometimes you call her your lady
And sometimes you call her your whore
And anyway, what's in a name
It's just part of the game that you both came here for

Well, it ain't like she's in this for marriage
And it ain't like she's here for prestige
But still, maybe more than just a face card
Or some trusty ace that you keep up your sleeve

And who knows what finally did it
The room or the game or her pride
Or the feeling that somehow the house always wins
Deal her out, she's a lady tonight

And here comes the part where she turns on the light
And you try to make nice what you'll never make right
'Cause you came for the game, but she stayed for a fight
She's a lady, she's a lady, she's a lady tonight

See, tonight she's done dealing with jokers
And with nice guys like you, who needs fools?
With your smile and your mickey mouse face
Keeping her in her place with you keeping your cool

And there ain't no one dealing out dignity
It's something you steal from the king
And tonight your old queen of clubs
Shows you just where to shove that old nice guy routine

And here comes the part where she turns on the light
And you try to make nice what you'll never make right
As you call her your angel, but she just takes flight
She's a lady, she's a lady, she's a lady tonight
