Lyrics
[Intro — sparse piano/bass]
Word hit the hall before you did
Someone had finally made their bid
You slid one black folder toward her, neat
She never looked down. “Please. Take a seat.”
[V1 — tight funk, low vocal]
Go on, finish, don’t mind me
I love a well-planned mutiny
You picked your moment, made your play
Even rehearsed what I might say
You brought the numbers, stacked them neat
Put my surrender at your feet
There’s one small detail in your math:
You never planned for me to laugh.
[Pre — brass rising]
Your practiced smile begins to slide
She hasn’t moved, just watched you try
No anger, no defensive lines
Just something sharpening in her eyes
You came prepared to watch her break
She lets the silence hold its weight
Then leans back slowly, just a bit:
“Tell me… is that it?”
[Chorus — big-band rock]
You thought you’d cornered every move
Had every number, every proof
You wrote my ending, signed your name
Then walked right in to stake your claim
You bet the house I’d lose my nerve
Mistook my patience for your turn
You came to put me in my place—
[Stop; low spoken]
Look around.
[Beat]
Cute.
[Brass blast]
[V2 — funk]
She turns the folder, leaves it closed
“Six months,” she says. “Or nearly so.”
You never told her when or where
That little smile says she was there
She names the calls, the dates, the place
And watches color leave your face
She folds her hands. You feel the snare.
“Who do you think put you there?”
[Pre 2 — brass climbing]
The pieces settle into their place
That little triumph leaves your face
You thought you’d found the hidden door
She left it open months before
Your perfect trap, your grand design
Was moving on somebody else’s time
She lets the silence make it clear:
You were never steering here.
[Chorus 2 — bigger]
You thought you’d cornered every move
Had every number, every proof
You wrote my ending, signed your name
Then walked right in to stake your claim
You bet the house I’d lose my nerve
Mistook my patience for your turn
You came to put me in my place—
[Stop; low spoken]
Look around.
[Beat]
Cute.
[Brass blast]
[V3 — cool funk]
She finally opens up the file
Reads the first page with half a smile
Then turns it round and slides it back
“Thorough. But you missed a fact.”
You thought this meeting stayed between
The two of you and what you’d seen
She glances toward the darkened wall:
“You weren’t talking just to me at all.”
[Band cuts; 2 beats]
[Bridge — sparse piano/bass]
You rushed to fill the quiet air
And laid your whole intention bare
I never had to plan your fall
I only had to let you talk.
[Silence]
[Tenor sax solo builds]
[Horn shout chorus]
[Hard stop]
[Final Chorus — full band]
You thought you’d cornered every move
Had every number, every proof
You wrote my ending, signed your name
Then walked right in to stake your claim
You bet the house I’d lose my nerve
Mistook my patience for your turn
You came to put me in my place—
[Stop; low spoken]
Still think you know my place?
[Beat]
Cute.
[Brass hit; bari. Cut.]
