Vega, Suzanne - No Cheap Thrill Lyrics






Ante up. And don't be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
What's underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?

Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
He's got a cool hand but it isn't for me.
Butcher Boy thinks he'll be splitting the pot.
But I've seen what he's got and it isn't a lot.

(When deuces are wild you can follow the queen.
I'd go too except I know where she's been.)

I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?

I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

I'll match you, I'll bet you, I'll play you,
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

    SIA's least favourite Suzanne Vega song, ladies and gentlemen.

    J.... B....

    Why ? Because she love cheap thrills ?

  13. s.... 7....

    スザンヌベガの瞳の色と壁紙の色が合っている。すばらしい。

  14. J.... G....

    This looks to be set in the early 1960s. The clothing the car etc.

  15. c.... ....

    Even back then she only wore black!

  16. s.... ....

    I know the meaning, the lyrics don't have anything to do with this but I was listening to this the day after my son was diagnosed with autism and the music is forever stamped in my brain as signifying that moment for me. I love her music, she's my favorite artist.

  17. D.... H....

    Someone said it here before & I MUST AGREE, " She's Beautiful Here", Gorgeous in fact - This Video is done REALLY well as if it came right out of MOVIE - LOVE IT !!!! She Melts my Heart - Guys & Gals check out here CD---->" Songs in Red and Gray " - O M G !!!! Love It Tons,.. Really Different and in the best way EVER - It Should in my opinion went Platinum, Radio Stations,... For Most Groups don't play a lot of songs that many artists do That could of went Gold #1 I Feel it's a Huge rip on the Artists, it's not right the stations just play those 1, 2 or 3 songs and no hardly hears the others - So Please ladies & Gents,... Lend an Ear to thye CD ---> " Songs in Red and Gray " if you're a Suzanne Vega Fan - You WILL Love It : - ) ... Take Care All,.. Sending out Big Smiles Have a Great 2018 Summer

  18. S.... S....

    She's not normally that good looking.

  24. S.... B....

  25. �.... O....

    EVET suzanne

  26. A.... S....

    Deliciously filmed

  27. D.... N....

    I don't remember this scene from Casino Royale.

    She was born in '59 and look how hot she was in 1996.....stunting talented and beautiful

    a.... ....

  29. R.... T....

    I always thought Sheryl Crow sang this!

  30. �.... �....

    Awesome!

  31. D.... P....

    Miss Vega is a beautiful woman.

  32. F.... F....

    Susan Vega is is just fantastic in my top 20 artists of all time for sure also should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame his woman is a musical genius😃😂

  33. H.... G....

    Armchair production note: the intro to this song has no business being there.

  34. c.... ....

    So beautiful; voice and persona... yummy

  35. O.... R....

    Who else danced to this while preparing for school back in 90s???

  36. T.... ....

    johnny B Goode you look so gay!

  37. J.... V....

    The sad part is, we tend, as humans, to not know the genius we see in front of us, right now. We have to wait till they're dead for hundreds of years...crazy we humans, and always will be.

    J.... V....

    James Von Maxwell I see the point of your comment, but Suzanne Vega is very much not dead?

  38. S.... B....

    Absolutely Stunning - Love this video - Just watching it reminds me of this beautiful young lady I was seeing ! - Who looked in hind sight very much like Suzanne Vega ! - She too had her quirkiness (which I also loved) - I nevers saw her wearing Jeans - Never ! - She was always wearing a dress or a skirt - a female suit or maybe pegs always stylish ! always ! - But never Denim (that was work wear) - I would have married that amazing young lady at the drop of a hat - I really would - But the fate that thrust us both together - Also tore us apart ! Thankyou for showing this fab video ! Bringings those memories back for me - With that great piece of music ! -Thanks

  39. T.... G....

    She's beautiful from the inside out. Always will be...

    T.... G....

    Especially on the inside...rrrowwwwww ;)

    T.... G....

    I feel you. Everything about here rubs me the right way...

  40. Y.... X....

    listening again, still awesome.

  41. p.... e....

    She's a goddess
    Still sounds amazing too

    p.... e....

    I call her "Susie Vega" its a much more "Girlie name for Suzanne Vega of Susie Vega and makes her a much more Younger Teenager Expert Musician with more younger respects, Thank You!!!!

  42. S.... ....

    She's so hot.

  43. Y.... ....

    hell o oldies whatupp ;D

  44. h.... l....

    v.... ....

    Oh yes,I agree with you.I wish I could turn back to the 70s and 80s<3 .In the 70s a was a child and my parents where alright!In the 80s I was a Teenie and a young woman,what a awesome time to remember and this song is really great for good memories;-)

  47. L.... C....

    Thanks Suz

  48. k.... M....

    How beautiful Suzanne! This song is so cute.
    I like her smooth voice and eyes.

    k.... M....

    +kayo Murodate She is very beautiful there!!!Her eyes ,face and voice are awesome;-)

  49. R.... G....

    what is the song about?

    R.... G....

    who the fuck knows.

    R.... G....

    Strange, her besr song is definitely "toms diner"

    R.... G....

    @Renderless Games It's about poker and gambling. Lots of the terms are poker terms e.g. 'spit in the sea'

    R.... G....

    +JudeIceCool3000 ahah never though about it and it totally makes sense.. "i'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you".

    R.... G....

    Everything has a beauty and a cost in this life.

  50. o.... ....

    Thrilling. 

  51. P.... R....

    Love it

  52. r.... m....

    awesome Track!... never had hearded!.... and Precious Face!....

  53. K.... O....

    God, what a talented and sexy woman! Thanks for sharing.

  54. S.... L....

    I like the reference to the movie Pulp Fiction at 1:45.The people are dancing like Travolta and Thurman in the dance scene. There is a deleted scene in Pulp Fiction where Vincent Vega admits Suzanne Vega is his cousin.

  55. F.... ....

    I love the little side eye she gives when she sings, "I've seen what he's got, and it isn't a lot." :)

  56. O.... ....

    What a lovely smooth voice and cute song

  57. m.... ....

    I love the way she takes the whole pot at the end. She's a cutie in this video.

  58. l.... ....

    These damn ads are a menace

  59. A.... M....

    love tis song but only recall hearing it once

  60. P.... ....

    So true!

  61. i.... m....

    buena cancion,bien echo suzane.

  62. s.... ....

    same thing :) .

  63. s.... ....

    absolutely.

  64. F.... F....

    Not a great song, but boy she looks awesome.

  65. A.... F....

    She is So Sensual.

  66. b.... ....

    I miss these songs I forgot about this amazing music... :)

  67. s.... ....

    okay i take issues with the expressions coment, yes her expression is similar, but that's becasue she dosent go for the blatently obvious changes in expresions, it's more a subtel facial expression to help set the mood, and honesly i don't blame her, singing with a huge smile on your face is a PAIN i know!

  68. p.... ....

    This song is criminally underrated.

  69. H.... S....

    She has class, but the only thing I don't like about her videos is that she always has the same look on her face. It gets boring after awhile.

  70. A.... M....

    Suzanne isn't just a great songwriter/artist she is beautiful!!!! She's been a fav since I saw her in St. Louis in '87. Saw her 2 more x's. Her and Joan Jett ... my favs!!!!!! Sexy!!!
