(Hall, Oates, S. Allen)


One lonely eye faces the Queen

How far she goes remains to be seen

She can be hard and she knows it

She plays her heart and doesn't show it

Cold night cold like me

No lov elost betting on the King

And it's a hard unknown

Before the hand is showing

The con is out when the eagle flies

If you know the hand is quicker than the eye


Can I bank on your love


Hands down left high and dry

Games in the night are quicker than the eye

That ain't love or affection

The dealer changed direction

Bets are high and I'm losing enough

Won't anybody play fair with my love

'Cause it's hard not knowing

And my heart is showing

The King is out and the eagle flies

Don't you know the hand is quicker than the eye


Can I bank on your love
