You got me

Hi.
I am going to ask about the phrase you got me.
I know depending on the context, it can have several meanings.
I would be grateful if you could list the meaning from the most common to the least common one.
I don't provide any context for it, because I don't want to give any pre- impression for the one that comes to your mind first.
I can think of three meanings for it.
I hope you take the time and give me this favor.
Your help is appreciated
Cheers

Thank you both for your great explanation.
If I want to list them from the most common to the least common one, it would be like the following;

You got me.

1. You caught me doing something I was not supposed to do, or realized that I am lying
2. Trick me or pull my leg.
3. Ask a question that I cannot answer.
4. You understand me.
5. you got me literally.

Hi,

Maybe 3 is the top one?

Really, these words are not something I hear every day, with any meaning.
