Taken For A Fool (Single) Lyrics

Sister, visit us while you still can
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
Line 1
I can't let you do those things when it means
It's so early I don't want to wake up
I wish I left you 'cos we never grew 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
Jewish, in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except that, on anything else, that could maybe hurt the most. 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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
