"She Played Right Into My Hands" lyrics

"She Played Right Into My Hands"

She was everything I wanted
But she had her own sweet plan
It was me did all the chasing
But she played right into my hands

Oh she spun a web around me
But I welcomed every strand
And she thought that she held me spellbound
But she played right into my hands

I was a pawn in her game, it seemed
She was reeling me in on a line
She thought she was always one step ahead
But she was a pawn in mine

She said "Now you just try to leave me
'Cause I've got my hooks in my man"
Then she held onto me like she meant it
Oh she played right into my hands

I was a pawn in her game, it seemed
She was reeling me in on a line
She thought she was always one step ahead
But she was a pawn in mine

Oh she wrapped me around her finger
Just the way that I had it planned
She was smart but I was smarter
Oh she played right into my hands
She was smart but I was smarter
Oh she played right into my hands
