Once upon a time
The planets and the faiths
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 countermoves
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate I couldn′t lose
What if I told you none of it
Was accidental
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then
Just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind
And now you′re mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
You see, all the wisest women
Had to do it this way
′Cause we were born to be the pawn
In every lover′s game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind and I′m free, flowing sails
In the liquor on our cocktails
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me
I knew I wanted your body
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascading in a 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
Is this the first time I feel 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
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then, saw a wild 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
