►Lyrics:  
Written by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff  
 
Once upon a time  
The planets and the fates and all the stars aligned  
You and I ended up in the same room at the same time  
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse  
Of a chain reaction of countermoves  
To assess the equation of you  
Checkmate, I couldn’t lose  
 
What if I told you  
None of it was accidental  
And the first night that you saw me  
Nothing was gonna stop me  
I laid the groundwork  
And then just like clockwork  
The dominoes cascaded in a line  
What if I told you I’m a mastermind  
And now you’re mine  
It was all by design  
Cause I’m a mastermind  
 
You see all the wisest women had to do it this way  
Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game  
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail  
Strategy sets the scene for the tale  
I’m the wind in our free-flowing sails  
And the liquor in our cocktails  
 
What if I told you  
None of it was accidental  
And the first night that you saw me  
I knew I wanted your body  
I laid the groundwork  
And then just like clockwork  
The dominoes cascaded in a line  
What if I told you I’m a mastermind  
And now you’re mine  
It was all my design  
Cause I’m a mastermind  
 
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid  
So I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since  
To make them love me and make it seem effortless  
This is the first time I’ve felt the need to confess  
And I swear  
I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian ‘cause I care  
 
So I told you  
None of it was accidental  
And the first night that you saw me  
Nothing was gonna stop me  
I laid the groundwork  
And then saw a wide smirk  
On your face, you knew the entire time  
You knew that I’m a mastermind  
And now you’re mine  
Yeah, all you did was smile  
Cause I’m a mastermind
