I‎ should‎ know‎ better
A‎ real‎ go‎ getter
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool

With‎ wishful‎ thinking‎
And‎ heavy‎ drinking‎
I‎ broke‎ the‎ golden‎ rule

You‎ looked‎ for‎ weakness‎
But‎ found‎ uniqueness‎
So‎ then‎ you‎ went‎ to‎ school‎

You‎ infiltrated‎
Manipulated‎
Baby,‎ your‎ were‎ so‎ cruel‎

(Chorus‎)
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
Honey,‎ that's‎ not‎ too‎ cool


I‎ let‎ you‎ right‎ in
With‎ little‎ fighting‎
I‎ opened‎ up‎ my‎ heart

You‎ worked‎ me‎ over
A‎ real‎ pushover‎
You‎ had‎ me‎ from‎ the‎ start‎

I‎ didn't‎ see‎ it
I‎ guarantee‎ it‎
You‎ really‎ owned‎ the‎ part

So‎ when‎ you‎ nailed‎ me
All‎ logic‎ failed‎ me
I‎ guess‎ I'm‎ not‎ too‎ smart

(Chorus‎)
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
Honey,‎ that's‎ not‎ too‎ cool
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
Honey,‎ that's‎ not‎ too‎ cool


I‎ learned‎ my‎ lesson‎
There's‎ no‎ more‎ guessin'
When‎ something‎ looks‎ too‎ good‎

I'll‎ do‎ my‎ homework‎
I‎ won't‎ be‎ that‎ jerk
Who‎ falls‎ for‎ Hollywood‎

I‎ wish‎ you'd‎ loved‎ me
And‎ it‎ still‎ bugs‎ me
I'd‎ change‎ it‎ if‎ I‎ could‎

But‎ that's‎ how‎ life‎ goes
A‎ game‎ of‎ shadows‎
I‎ never‎ understood‎

(Chorus‎)
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
You‎ played‎ me‎ for‎ a‎ fool‎
Honey,‎ that's‎ not‎ too‎ cool
