Oh, I know you like the chase
Oh yeah, I see it in your face
Even though you try to hide it
I know you can't deny it
You’ve been caught out in the masquerade
Hey, all's fair in love and war
Hey, I know you're keepin’ score
Even though I try to hide it
I love when we're divided
Gives me a reason to come to you

It's a game of sand-and-mouse
When I'm in, baby, you're out
You're always falling for my traps
You get out and come right back
It's a game of cat-and-mouse
Baby, I'll chase your love right down
You could be my spouse
Why do we play the silly game
Of cat-and-mouse?

Oh, when will we give this up?
Aw man, I’ve low-key had enough
It’s fun to get a new reaction
Our thing, no one could match it, yeah
When I think you're gone, you just show up
Hey, so much for wastin’ time
Aw man, my music's in it's prime
Can't believe it’s got to this
Cutting you off is on my list
But I can't lie, you keep my entertained

'Cause it's a game of sand-and-mouse
When I'm in, baby, you're out
You're always falling for my traps
You get out and come right back
It's a game of cat-and-mouse
Baby, I'll chase your love right down
You could be my spouse
Why do we play the silly game
Of cat-and-mouse?

Cat and mouse
Cat and mouse
Constant pursuit
Eyes only for you
The only one I chase
You always reciprocate
Constant pursuit
Eyes only for you
Many captures captivate
I run, but not away
