You Met Your Match |
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 till 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 |
Tried to make me look like a fool |
But I took care of Cindy and Suzie |
Just to show that 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, vine, vine, 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, for turning to steam |
Hey, 'cause my love light’s burning |
My whole life’s yearning for you, hey baby |
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 |
