My Mother told me something that sure got the cogs moving in my brain. i was talking about how the title of this song didn't show up in the lyrics, but is the underlying feelings of the song. i was explaining how the title made me think of playing cards.

'One Diamond, (One ring) One Heart.' and that COMPLETELY changed my opinion of this song.
