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 'til 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

'Cause my love light's burning

My whole life's yearning for you

My whole life's yearning for you

My whole life's yearning for you

Hey baby you played around with Jimmy and Freddie

You tried to make me look like a fool

But I took care of Cindy and Suzie

Just to show you 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

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

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, while I'm turning to steam

Hey cause my love light's burning

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 baby
