May the Odds, Forever, Be in Your Favor

"You take us in with your smile..."

You take us in with your smile and make us fall for your southern charm.

(not thinking that someone so beautiful could do such harm)

What we would never know, is that we are the opponents in your twisted game. (one we are never meant to win)

Turning good girls into enemies, standing on the front line of your shame.

We weren't made for this (being toyed with), a sick, sadistic tug of war.

When one resists, we all resist. (and fall out of line)

Not knowing that there are always replacements. (at a drop of a dime)

I guess it's easy to play the game when you know all the rules. (manipulating and conniving to make it more of a blood sport for you)

Third time is a charm. (I must say, you got me good)

I admit that I never thought you would.

(although, there are a few things that have been misunderstood)

I am a Victor (No Victim). I've studied all your moves, you, are now the prey that's in my peripheral view. Let’s see how it feels when the tables turn on you.

I wonder if you would be angry or if you would approve, this behavior?

(Until then...)

May the odds, forever, be in your favor
