(verse 1)
He’s playing sports and loves a game
If bases were hearts he’s stolen fame
Desired the M.V.P. on my arm
Set myself up just like a pawn
What’s happened now and who’s to blame
(chorus)
It wasn’t love, It wasn’t what I thought
It was a self-centered dream, a lie I bought
Look at me I’m not falling apart
I’ve said a thousand times, I’m just fine
I didn’t break my heart
(verse 2)
When Mr. Right put in the call
He had deep dark eyes and I got lost
It’s never good to keep pretending
That it’s a story with a happy ending
I was deceived was it his fault?
(verse 3)
So be forewarned and on the guard
Some people bluff when playing cards
Don’t be another pawn collected
You only got one heart protect it
When traps are set you might get caught
