(Carole Bayer Sager / Bruce Roberts) 



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
