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 |
