YOU OUT-PLAYED ME by Spartacus Jones

I thought I had the game truly mastered
I thought I knew it all
I memorized all the tactics
I practiced every day without a fall
Your opening gambit
Was something I had often seen
But like a rank amateur, mystified by the lure
I fell into your trap so easily.

You out-played me.
I concede that it’s true
You outplayed-me
Nobody else can play like you

Your strategy was simple
So very clear to everyone but me
Your clever ruse left me quite confused
And I never realized what that could mean
I moved when you countered
I countered when you moved
But at the end of the game, it was all very plain
And only one thing clearly had been proved

You out-played me.
We both know it’s true
You joutplayed-me
Nobody else can play like you
Nobody else can play like you

Now I’m now longer the master
I might have been before
I still know the moves but I
Can’t find the groove
And I don’t enjoy the game anymore

I want to be a gracious loser
I hope you understand what I’m sayin’
Your game's the very best, but, Baby, this was not the test
‘Cause you see, THIS time, I wasn’t playin’

You out-played me.
We both knew the rules
You just outplayed-me
Nobody else can play like you
Nobody else can play like you
