Suzy Bogguss Aces Lyrics

My old friend said to me
that I'm not being what I'm supposed to be.
Well I don't know, could be true,
I know I wasn't always there for you.

And now you're ready to walk out,
you're ready to run,
talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done.
You cant deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play,
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away.

The things you think I should do,
I've never understood that part of you.
You know I've tried to be a friend,
but you feel undermined and hurt again.
Now, don't let it convince you,
please don't take it to heart,
compromise and realize, you can never really run everything you start.

You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play.
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away.

And I guess I said I couldn't see
that things would turn out like they've come to be.
And if I lied, and if I knew,
I was only trying to think of you.

And now you're ready to walk out,
you're ready to run.
Talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play.
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away,
don't let this be the reason you would walk away.
