Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
And all the stars aligned
You and I ended up in the same room
At the same time

And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
Of a chain reaction of counter moves
To excess the equation of you
Checkmate, I couldn't lose

What if I told you none of it was accidental?
In the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork, and then
Just like clockwork
The dominoes cascated in the line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you'rе mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastеrmind

You see, all the wisest women
Had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn
Of every lover's game

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tail
I'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sails
In the liquor of our cocktails

What if I told you none of it was accidental?
In the first night that you saw me
I knew that I wanted you, buddy
I laid the groundwork, and then
Just like clockwork
The dominoes cascated in the line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all my design
'Cause I'm a mastermind

No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
And I swear
I'm only cryptic in my gear of valley
'Cause I can

So I told you none of it was accidental
In the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork, and then
Saw a white smirk on your face
You knew the entire time
You knew that I'm a mastermind
And now you're mine
Yeah, all you did was smile
'Cause I'm a mastermind
