Ski-ming

I guess my plan in the beginning was to first find out theinning
Then to crawl beneath your protective shell and lure you in mysinging
I would find out what you do then I'd use it all against you
By working for the goal of making loving me the thing to do
I play it like I'm distant and never really listening
I talk of leaving your life right after we've been reminiscing

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
Baby, what's pathetic is the tactics used to tame this man

One minute you were cold as ice the next you are really reallynice
Could it be you're playing me or could you just be indecisive
But how you come when called is it my scheming drawl or
Is it the mystery that I've built up that can't be called on
You can't explain and I see you try and taint it
But you appear where I am but can't admit that it's related

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
Baby, what's pathetic is the tactics used to tame this man

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
