  • Day into night she's with me
    How sweet is her warm embrace
    Safe in the scent of jasmine
    So safe in her gold and lace

    Mornings I find, she's left me
    So cold, so alone but aware
    I try to escape, she finds me
    Oh run though I may, she's there
    There, there, there, there

    Luck is a lady whose smile
    Is as cold as a stone
    She'll bring you things
    Many things you might never have known

    But when your die is cast
    She'll have the final laugh at you
    She'll lock you in a duel
    Where you come out the fool

    Beware of the Queen of Spades
    Her black widow's curse might find you yet
    Beware of a love that you will regret
    Her love means only your death

    Day into night she's with me
    Turn of a card, she's there
    The first time is free, you know
    But from now on, pay me
    Me, me, me, me

    Beware of the Queen of Spades
    Her black widow's curse might find you yet
    Beware of a love that you will regret
    Her love means only your death

    Beware of the Queen of Spades
    Her black widow's curse might find you yet
    Beware of a love that you will regret
    Her love means only your death Writer/s: Dennis De Young, James Young
