You turned the tables on me
And now I'm falling for you;
You turned the tables on me
I can't believe that it's true

You put me up on a throne
You let me fall with a drop
And now I'm out on my own.
But after thinking it over and over,
I got what was coming to me
Just like the sting of a bee
You turned the tables on me.
