When I first met you
I thought I was holding all the cards
You came to sit right beside me
Your eyes were shining like the stars
I had my chips on a lot of bets
But it turns out you had way more bets than I
You aced me, baby
Took all that I had
You aced me, baby
And left me feeling so bad
To play the game
You need to know all the rules
You gotta keep your wits about you
To stop you feeling like a fool
I’ve played that game so many times
But it turns out that I met my match in you
You aced me, baby
Took all that I had
You aced me, baby
And left me feeling so bad
You played me at my own game
Right there in front of my face
You dealt your cards with a sleight of hand
That really put me in my place .....
You aced me, baby
Took all that I had
You aced me, baby
And left me feeling so bad
Ah, it’s been a long time
Oh, such a long time
But my love for you keeps getting stronger
And I, I have to tell you
I’ve just got to tell you
‘Cause I can’t contain it any longer
My soul is like a ship sailing on your ocean
You surround me wherever I roam
You take me on the journey of a lifetime
And you’re always there to guide me back home
Ah, it’s been a long time
Oh, such a long time
And I have no choice but to concede
That you, you’re the one who makes me what I am
And you’re the only one that I need
You’re the only one that I need
You’re the only one that I need
