[Verse 1] I learn the rules in five Then I read them twice You set out the tiles I’m already rolling dice I smile like I’m nice While I steal your best route You say it’s just a game I say that’s what it’s about I count your little hands I watch your face go red You reach for one more card I’ve got three moves ahead [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me take it easy Don’t say it’s just for fun I can hear the victory Loading in my tongue [Chorus] I gotta win, gotta win I can’t sit still I take the crown, take the crown I always will I want the last little laugh When the timer’s done I gotta win, gotta win I’m no. one [Verse 2] You drew the lucky card I drew a better plan You built a tiny bridge I burned it with my hand I hoard the little points Like gold in a tin If there’s a shortcut near me I’m taking it again I keep the score in my head Even when we’re through At dinner I remember That you owed me two [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me to relax Don’t say it isn’t deep My face stays sweet and calm My ego’s in the lead [Chorus] I gotta win, gotta win I can’t sit still I take the crown, take the crown I always will I want the last little laugh When the timer’s done I gotta win, gotta win I’m no. one [Bridge] I swear I’m not a villain I just hate to lose If the box is on the table I will not choose I’m kind in every other way I help you with your coat But put a game in front of me And I’m sharpening my vote [Final Chorus] I gotta win, gotta win I can’t sit still I take the crown, take the crown I always will I want the last little laugh When the timer’s done I gotta win, gotta win I’m no. one I gotta win, gotta win That’s my fevered prayer You can keep the afterparty I’ll be over there
