"Taken For A Fool" lyrics


Sister, it feels like just yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number on the door
You've got something and it's so good to see
Something wonderful that I could not be
Everybody hanging on for their lives
But you can't help them 'cos you don't have the time

I know, everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well, on the toxic radio, yeah

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why

Blame yourself for what's good putting it on me
I can't let you 'cause I see what it means
It's so early I don't want to wake up
Oh we're so lucky 'cause we never grow

Mama, it feels like just yesterday
Mama, don't you forget my number
I don't want to be the one at the door

I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose
And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio
A tourist, in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except death and anything else that could maybe hurt them, oh yeah.

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
I don't know why
