lyrics
She summons you over, pulling you closer
with that simple little motion of her finger
Come hither - she says without so much as "hey, mister"
She hears you whisper - manipulates your shiver
til you take her home to make her your own
You swear you'll call her in the morning
unlike these other boys - not that you've got much of a choice
cause she knows you would bend over backwards
just to hear her tell you her name
but it's just a game
Everyone's playing against you
Uh-oh, well you shoulda known better
than to mess with a mistress who didn't bring an umbrella
in this weather so you tell her that you'll walk her home
because you'd hate to see a pretty girl like that with a cold
and she knows she's got you under her thumb
it's so hard to find the keys when she's standing there like a gun
now is she shooting you the look or is she staring you down?
You ask yourself the question for the hundredth time around
but you can't tell the difference - you can barely see her face
what you didn't know is that the girl just needed a place to stay
you're just a cheap motel that she paid with a kiss
and a thank you note that she left you on the fridge
It looks like she was playing against you
Everyone's playing against you
