Lyrics
From a Jack to a King
From a position of low status ("Jack") to a position of high status ("King")
From loneliness to a wedding ring
Transition from feeling lonely to being in a committed relationship symbolized by a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
The singer took a risk ("played an Ace") and successfully won the affection of a woman ("won a Queen")
And walked away with your heart
After the successful endeavor, the singer gained the love of the woman
From a Jack to a King
Reiteration of the positive transformation from a low point to a high point in life
With no regrets I stacked the cards last night
The singer, without any regrets, manipulated circumstances in his favor the previous night
Lady luck played her hand just right
Fortunate events unfolded in the singer's favor, guided by luck
You made me King of your heart
The woman elevated the singer's status by making him the "King of her heart"
For just a little while I thought that I might lose again
Temporary doubt about the stability of the newfound happiness
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
The singer noticed a reassuring sign in the woman's eyes, dispelling his doubts
From a Jack to a King
Repetition of the journey from low to high status, emphasizing the transformation
From loneliness to a wedding ring
Reiteration of the transition from loneliness to commitment symbolized by a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
Recollection of taking a risk and winning the woman's love
You made me King of your heart
Confirmation of becoming the "King of her heart" through the successful pursuit
From a Jack to a King
Restatement of the positive transformation and the associated symbols
From loneliness to a wedding ring
Reiteration of the shift from loneliness to commitment with a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
Confirmation of winning the woman's love after taking a calculated risk
And walked away with your heart
The singer, after winning the woman's heart, walks away with her love
From a Jack to a King
Repetition of the transformation and the successful manipulation of circumstances
With no regrets I stacked the cards last night
Confirmation of no regrets in orchestrating events in his favor the previous night
And lady luck played her hand just right
Highlighting the role of luck in the positive outcome
You made me King of your heart
Reaffirmation of being made the "King of her heart" through luck and strategic actions
For just a little while I thought that I might lose again
Temporary uncertainty about the stability of the newfound happiness
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
The woman's reassuring twinkle in her eye dispels the singer's doubts
From a Jack to a King
Final repetition of the journey from low to high status and winning the woman's love
From loneliness to a wedding ring
Reiteration of the shift from loneliness to commitment symbolized by a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen
Confirmation of taking a risk, winning the woman's love, and becoming the "King of her heart"
You made me King of your heart
Final affirmation of being made the "King of her heart" through the successful pursuit
