Mastermind lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
and all the stars aligned.
You and I ended up in the same room
at the same time.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
of a chain reaction of countermoves
to assess the equation of you.
Checkmate, I couldn't lose.
 
[Chorus]
What if I told you none of it was accidental
and the first night that you saw me
nothing was gonna stop me?
I laid the groundwork, and then,
just like clockwork,
the dominoes cascaded in a line.
What if I told you I'm a mastermind
and now you're mine?
It was all by dеsign
'cause I'm a mastermind.
 
[Verse 2]
You see, all the wisеst women
had to do it this way
'cause we were born to be the pawn
in every lover's game
 
[Pre-Chorus]
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Strategy sets the scene for the tale.
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
and the liquor in our cocktails.
 
[Chorus]
What if I told you none of it was accidental
and the first night that you saw me
I knew I wanted your body?
I laid the groundwork, and then,
just like clockwork,
the dominoes cascaded in a line.
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
and now you're mine.
It was all my design
'cause I'm a mastermind.
 
[Bridge]
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
so I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
to make them love me and make it seem effortless.
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
and I swear
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian
'cause I care
 
[Chorus]
So I told you none of it was accidental
and the first night that you saw me
nothing was gonna stop me.
I laid the groundwork, and then
saw a wide smirk on your face,
you knew the entire time.
You knew that I'm a mastermind
and now you're mine.
Yeah, all you did was smile
'cause I'm a mastermind.
