| 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 |
