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 'cause 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
 Oh, 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 once, quit putting it on me
 I can't help you 'cause I've seen what it means
 It's so early, I don't want to wake up
 Oh, we're so lucky 'cause we never grow up
 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
 Oh, 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
