A Life, a Love, a Lie Lyrics
When you were dealt
An ace straight down
I was dressed in spades
According to the games that we played
So ante up
I'm worth it all
Have you any time for self-evaluation?
I suggest you find what you've been looking for
Don't lose your heart under the covers, baby
Just like everyone you said you loved
Don't expect the doves to pick you from the ground
Because, baby, I've pinned them down one by one
When you were slowly falling down
I was there to catch you
Fom the dark nights and lonely roads
So listen up when I say
Have you any time for self-evaluation?
I suggest you find what you've been looking for
Don't lose your heart under the covers, baby
Just like everyone you said you loved
Don't expect the doves to pick you from the ground
Because, baby, I've pinned them down one by one
I'm so lush addicted to your laugh
Convicted by your smile that holds me back
Did you ever care about
What I cared about?
Did you ever care at all?
And don't expect the doves to carry on with you
Don't expect the doves to carry on what you have done
She sings, "La da da da da, la da da da da da"
Baby, just like everyone you said you loved
And don't expect the doves to carry on with you
'Cause, baby, I've pinned them down one by one
An ace straight down
I was dressed in spades
According to the games that we played
So ante up
I'm worth it all
I suggest you find what you've been looking for
Just like everyone you said you loved
Don't expect the doves to pick you from the ground
Because, baby, I've pinned them down one by one
I was there to catch you
Fom the dark nights and lonely roads
So listen up when I say
I suggest you find what you've been looking for
Just like everyone you said you loved
Don't expect the doves to pick you from the ground
Because, baby, I've pinned them down one by one
Convicted by your smile that holds me back
Did you ever care about
What I cared about?
Did you ever care at all?
Don't expect the doves to carry on what you have done
Baby, just like everyone you said you loved
And don't expect the doves to carry on with you
'Cause, baby, I've pinned them down one by one

i wish i had a guy like that
i can kind of feel the song but can someone please break down the meaning for me
"When you were dealt An ace straight down I was dressed in spades...." i think this means that she was given something good but didnt know she had it or that it was there(like him and how much he thought he could love her)
"Don't lose your heart under the covers, baby Just like everyone you said you loved Don't expect the doves to pick you from the ground Because, baby, I've pinned them down one by one" here i think hes telling her that hes more than a "hook-up and he isnt just another guy to give herself to"
"When you were slowly falling down I was there to catch you Fom the dark nights and lonely roads So listen up when I say"
again i think he is saying hes there for her and he isnt the same as the other guys
"I'm so lush addicted to your laugh Convicted by your smile that holds me back Did you ever care about What I cared about? Did you ever care at all?" now i think hes saying they used to be friends and he liked her but never knew if she had feelings aout him too.
i kinda feel like its about a girls bestfriend but he is in love with her even though she has a bf and he is telling her it was me and you once, dont have sex with him. i love you....
