| Hey, you were good at playing the fox, girl
|
| When I was good you threw me a bone
|
| But I ain’t playing hound for nobody
|
| Girl, just wait 'til I get you home
|
| I’ll show you the way to love somebody
|
| Like you’ve never ever been shown
|
| 'Cause my love light’s burning
|
| My whole life’s yearning for you
|
| Hey baby, you played around with Jimmy and Freddie
|
| You tried to make me look like a fool
|
| But I took care of Cindy and Suzie
|
| Just to show you I can be twice as cruel, babe
|
| If you want to learn how to love me
|
| I’ll teach you in my own private school
|
| 'Cause my love light’s burning
|
| My whole life’s yearning for you
|
| You met your match when you played with my affection
|
| You met your match when you tried to make me walk the line
|
| You met your match when you decided you would hurt me That’s when your grape fell from the vine
|
| Your mama told me that I’d better be mellow
|
| She said you’re just a baby, maybe too green
|
| I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Big Joe
|
| They knew better, Mama shake off that dream
|
| Hey, I told her that you really were cooking |
| My love is burning, while I’m turning to steam
|
| Hey, 'cause my love light’s burning
|
| My whole life’s yearning for you
|
| You met your match when you told me that you loved me You met your match when you told me that you wouldn’t let go, baby
|
| You met your match, you met your match, you met your match, you met your match,
|
| you met your match
|
| You met your match, baby
|
| You met your match, you met your match, you met your match, you met your match,
|
| you met your match
|
| You met your match, baby |
