[Verse 1]
Yesterday thought I was the ace of spades, yes I did now
I didn't worry 'bout the [?] taking my place, he just couldn't do it now
I was so hung up, oh, on myself, yes I was
I should've realized that the cards had never been dealt, yeah

[Verse 2]
Thought I was such a cool [?]
Oh, I forgot she was such a smooth dealer
'Cause when the deal went down
I wasn't even nowhere around
'Cause I got lost, though
I got lost in the shuffle
I got lost, oh, oh, I got lost in the shuffle
She sure got rid of me

[Verse 3]
Thought I was so great, I would never fall, yeah
But I guess in the game she's playing, I ain't big at all, no I ain't, now
You know the ace of spade used to be my claim
But I fell from the top of the depth, completely out of the game

[Refrain]
That's what she did
She had the cards
In her hands
And tossed me aside
Just before the game began, yeah
[Outro]
Not only did the news [?]
I can't even take part in the game
You see, I got lost, oh, I got lost in the shuffle
Oh, oh, I got lost, yeah, I got lost in the shuffle
You see, you see, I got lost, she lost me in the shuffle
Oh, she sure got rid of me
