“Shape” is an eighth track by British girl group Sugababes from their second studio album Angels with Dirty Faces released in August 2002.
This midtempo pop and R&B ballad with a subtle dance groove interpolates and also samples 1993’s song Shape of My Heart by English singer-songwritter Sting.

[Verse 1: Mutya & Heidi]
I live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I can't stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this
I must insist
That a girl's got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I'm taking it into my own hands
In this man's land I can understand
Why I'm taking command
I've had enough of stuff
And now it's time to think about me, me yeah
[Pre-chorus: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
[Verse 2: Keisha]
I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back 'cause it's not the way it has to be
[Pre-chorus: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good
[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2: Mutya & Keisha]
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And the day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And I'm feeling good
[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
But that's not the shape of my heart
