i guess you're having a party tonight
i wasn't invited, but that's alright
i heard about it anyway
i might stop by, but i doubt i'll stay
cause i can't eat
and i'm having trouble getting to sleep
and i'm seeing double
it's no mystery and
what do you think's going on with me

and i can't fully understand
how you got the upper hand
i guess you got control of me
you played me like the lottery

i pulled into your yard last night
you saw my car you turned out the lights
it doesn't matter anyway
i wasn't even gonna stay
well, i just stopped by to drop off these
pictures of my broken knees
i guess you won't be needing these

and i can't fully understand
how you got the upper hand
i guess you got control of me
you played me like the lottery

i followed you to where you were
and now i feel like some kind of jerk
cause you turned around and saw me there
and all i did was stand and stare
you probably think i'm just a pest
hanging around your circulation desk
i guess i'll go on home
where once again i can be alone

and i can't fully understand
how you got the upper hand
i guess you got control of me
you played me like the lottery
