Beating the Player at the Game

You were so gorgeous, a challenge that i could never hope to attain
and you came at just the right time
to offset my losses
and leave me throbbing with excitement at your very touch

but somehow i missed that through your gorgeous smile
there was no brain to be found
that your motivations were only selfish ones
and that your surface desire was only that:  surface

you called me only when you wanted something
but somehow i missed the whole intention
just acknowledging that you had called me more than i called you
but somehow i believe i had you hooked

your touch, your smile, your occasional kiss
all proved that you were hooked on me
but i beat the player at the game
when i stopped taking your phone calls

did that bother you
did it upset you
it took five phone calls before you stopped calling me
somehow its hard to not pick up the phone and call you

i saw you the other day
you just smiled from a far
but played it cool
were you brewing deep inside?

somehow i wonder
were you a player
did you really know erica
to find that out burned me at my very core

i know how unkind you were in your past
and sometimes with me
but i beat the player at the game
and ended up with a better prize at the end-a total equal who makes me smile
