Lyrics of Taken for a Fool by The Strokes
verse
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
pre-chorus
I know everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well on the toxic radio, yeah
chorus
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
verse
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
bridge
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
chorus
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
outro
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
I don't know why
