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

FreddieTried to make me look like a fool

But I took care of

Cindy and

SuzieJust 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 JoeThey 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
