I'll offer up but you insist that you drive
The bittersweetness bites the tongue that lies
My mind and my body disagree
Cause what's good for you isn't what's good for me
What kind of trouble did you get yourself in
You should've held your cards close to your chest
Don't you know the house always wins
And your mother knows best
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Dancing in circles but our feet don't touch the ground
Beat around the bush until the whole damn thing burns down
Just a matter of time before the flames lick the fence
And I'll ask one more time but you'll never make it make sense
What kind of trouble did you get yourself in
You should've held your cards close to your chest
Don't you know the house always wins
And your mother knows best
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
