Mastermind

Once upon a time, the planets and the fatesAnd all the stars alignedYou and I ended up in the same roomAt the same timeAnd the touch of a hand lit the fuseOf a chain reaction of counter movesTo excess the equation of youCheckmate, I couldn't loseWhat if I told you none of it was accidental?In the first night that you saw meNothing was gonna stop meI laid the groundwork, and thenJust like clockworkThe dominoes cascated in the lineWhat if I told you I'm a mastermind?And now you'rе mineIt was all by design'Cause I'm a mastеrmindYou see, all the wisest womenHad to do it this way'Cause we were born to be the pawnOf every lover's gameIf you fail to plan, you plan to failStrategy sets the scene for the tailI'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sailsIn the liquor of our cocktailsWhat if I told you none of it was accidental?In the first night that you saw meI knew that I wanted you, buddyI laid the groundwork, and thenJust like clockworkThe dominoes cascated in the lineWhat if I told you I'm a mastermind?And now you're mineIt was all my design'Cause I'm a mastermindNo one wanted to play with me as a little kidSo I've been scheming like a criminal ever sinceTo make them love me and make it seem effortlessThis is the first time I've felt the need to confessAnd I swearI'm only cryptic in my gear of valley'Cause I canSo I told you none of it was accidentalIn the first night that you saw meNothing was gonna stop meI laid the groundwork, and thenSaw a white smirk on your faceYou knew the entire timeYou knew that I'm a mastermindAnd now you're mineYeah, all you did was smile'Cause I'm a mastermind
