Games With the Crone
Strategizing your next move
In our little game of chess
That we have been playing
Against each other for so long
Precious one, don't you
Realize that I already
Know your next move
My teacher was Bobby Fischer
He taught me how to defeat
Players just like yourself
He made me a pro at this
Game of cat and mouse
My eyes see the truth
My ears hear what you
Are really saying and
Not what you utter to me
I know what you're thinking
I know how you will answer
Me before you even open
Up your lying mouth
No naive school girl here
I have been playing this
Game longer than you
And believe me, baby
I know how to win
I will take your King
Before you even get a
Chance to move your pawn
You cannot defeat the
Mistress of love games
I have have been played
With too many times
To miss when I have
Met up with another player
Trying to outwit the dominatrix
Are you going to quit or
Am I going to have
To get the whip out?
Save your masquerading
For someone who will
Fall for your bag of tricks
This old crone has been around
Way too long to be fooled
By a mere amateur like you
