Between The Cheats
Amy Winehouse · The Album Collection [2012]
I'd take a thousand thumps for my love
'Cause you kiss a lucky horseshoe
Stuck it in my boxing glove
'Cause anyone who will see us
Through our victory and done defeat
Knows that I'll take you to the cleaners
If you come between the cheats
Between the cheats, oooeeooo
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
My husband is the finest handsome hustler
And he still makes this housewife blush
So I'm throwing my hand in his
I'm sitting on the royal flush
Women drink him in, swimming in his green eyes
Then go home and catch the chips you got...
The jack of hearts is my jackpot
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
Catch me on...
And I know as my heart beats
There's a win secret to...
And it's sworn between the cheats
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
Between the cheats, oooeeeooo
