Mastermind - Taylor Swift
[00:07.91] Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
[00:12.95] And all the stars aligned
[00:15.88] You and I ended up in the same room
[00:20.13] At the same time
[00:23.33] And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
[00:27.03] Of a chain reaction of countermoves
[00:31.55] To assess the equation of you
[00:35.00] Checkmate, I couldn't lose
[00:38.18] What if I told you none of it was accidental?
[00:41.38] And the first night that you saw me
[00:43.50] Nothing was gonna stop me
[00:45.36] I laid the groundwork, and then
[00:47.49] Just like clockwork
[00:49.35] The dominoes cascaded in the line
[00:52.01] What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
[00:56.78] And now you're mine
[00:59.96] It was all by design
[01:03.42] 'Cause I'm a mastermind
[01:08.48] You see, all the wisest women
[01:13.52] Had to do it this way
[01:16.70] 'Cause we were born to be the pawn
[01:20.70] In every lover's game
[01:24.41] If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
[01:28.78] Strategy sets the scene for the tale
[01:32.23] I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
[01:36.22] And the liquor in our cocktails
[01:39.42] What if I told you none of it was accidental?
[01:42.33] And the first night that you saw me
[01:44.19] I knew I wanted your body
[01:46.59] I laid the groundwork, and then
[01:48.70] Just like clockwork
[01:50.83] The dominoes cascaded in a line
[01:52.96] What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
[01:56.41] And now you're mine
[02:00.13] It was all my design
[02:04.12] 'Cause I'm a mastermind
[02:09.69] No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
[02:13.68] So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
[02:17.13] To make them love me and make it seem effortless
[02:21.65] This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
[02:24.57] And I swear
[02:28.30] I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian
[02:30.67] 'Cause I care
[02:33.07] So I told you none of it was accidental
[02:35.46] And the first night that you saw me
[02:37.32] Nothing was gonna stop me
[02:39.45] I laid the groundwork, and then
[02:42.11] Saw a wide smirk on your face
[02:44.21] You knew the entire time
[02:45.83] You knew that I'm a mastermind
[02:50.34] And now you're mine
[02:53.79] Yeah, all you did was smile
[02:57.51] 'Cause I'm a mastermind
