Shape of My Heart 是老牌摇滚歌手Sting的经典作品。被收录在其专辑《十个传奇》中。同时此曲还是1994年电影《这个杀手不太冷》（法语Leon 英语 Professional）中的片尾曲。此曲将纸牌中的四种花色分别对应成权力（梅花）、金钱（方片）、武力（黑桃），心（红桃）。"heart"一语双关，反映了杀手孤独的内心，配合上Sting低沉略带沙哑的声音，被演绎得天衣无缝。

Shape of My Heart
Sting
He deals the cards as a meditation
他打牌时在思考
And those he plays never suspect
出牌从不犹豫
He doesn't play for the money he wins
他玩牌不为赢钱
He don't play for respect
也不为别人的尊敬
He deals the cards to find the answer
他打牌是想找到答案
The sacred geometry of chance
那神圣的几何概率
The hidden law of a probable outcome
每局结果背后的法则
The numbers lead a dance
数字就像在跳舞
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
黑桃像是士兵的剑
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
梅花（棍子）可以是战斗武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
方块（钻石）象征钱
But that's not the shape of my heart
但他们代表不了我的心(我在想红桃！)
He may play the jack of diamonds
他可能出方块J
He may lay the queen of spades
也可能出黑桃Q
He may conceal a king in his hand
手里没准藏了K
While the memory of it fades
我记不清楚了
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
黑桃就像士兵的剑
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
梅花（棍子）可以是战斗武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
方块（钻石）象征钱
But that's not the shape of my heart
但他们代表不了我的心(我在想红桃！)
That's not the shape......the shape of my heart
他们代表不了我的心(我在想红桃！)
And if I told you that I loved you
如果我说爱你
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
你会觉得我有病吧
(Is there something wrong with you? )
I'm not a man of too many faces
我不是多面的人
The mask I wear is one
只有这一面
Well, those who speak know nothing
无知的人爱说话
And find out to their cost
其实要付出代价
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
就像反复诅咒了他们的命运
And those who fear are lost
害怕（表白）的人在迷惘（我...）
