“Draw of the Cards” is a 1981 single release from Kim Carnes’s album Mistaken Identity. The single reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #49 on the UK singles chart. “Draw Of The Cards” failed to emulate the chart success of its predecessor, “Bette Davis Eyes”, missing out on Top 10 status in many of the countries that song had reached pole position.

The music video for the song is directed by Russell Mulcahy, who previous directed the “Bette Davis Eyes” video.

The “Special Long Version” is exclusive to the European releases of the 12″.
