Keep your aces up your sleeve 
When the temperature's rising 
And the air's getting harder to breathe 

And remember when to leave 
Without leaving traces
Only a child leaves his footprints all around 
Not caring if he's found out loud
And only a fool or a child shows his hand 
Oh how I wish I was one of them again 
One of them

Take your lovers as they come 
Don't get too involved 
Attachments are problems that can't be solved 
And remember its a show
A ring with no net
And don't you forget no one will catch you when you fall 
They've all got to cope with their own
Only a fool or a child bears his soul
Oh haw I thank them for giving me some hope 
For giving me some

Keep your aces up your sleeve
And don't you forget no one will catch you when you fall 
They've all got to cope with their own
And only a fool
Could see how much I love you 
Good thing no one listens to him 
Only a child or a fool shows his hand 
Oh how I wish I was one of them 
Either one of them again
