[Verse 1]

The cardboard head I see

Has found its way to me

It's old and it's old and it's old, making me cry

I sleep but I will not move

I'm too scared to leave my room

But I won't be defeated, oh no

[Chorus]

What if cards don't go my way?

And it's sure to spoil my day

But in voices loud and clear

You say to me, "It's only superstition

It's only your imagination

It's only all of the things that you fear

And the things from which you can't escape"

[Verse 2]

Keep clean for the thousandth time

Stand still and wait in line

Some numbers are better than others, oh no

[Chorus]

What if cards don't go my way?

And it's sure to spoil my day

But in voices loud and clear

You say to me, "It's only superstition

It's only your imagination

It's only all of the things that you fear

And the things which you cannot explain"

[Bridge]

And it's making me cry love

And it's making me cry

And I'm slipping away love

And I'm slipping away

[Outro]

It's only superstition, only your imagination

It's only superstition, only superstition
