Who Turned The Game Over

 You tried me
and failed

Now I'll do you

The notch you wanted for your bedpost
will instead be a jewel in my crown

Thought I'd be an easy mark for your game
a little hanky-panky
and a big disappearing act

Well, let me enthusiastically disappoint you

My bedroom isn't a boardgame

My heart isn't a pair of dice

And the only thing getting torn up and tossed out
is your get-out-of-jail-free card
