Tower Of Power - You Met Your Match lyrics

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
