"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 charts.

The song 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.
