Lyrics
He Played Me For a Fool
Marghi Allen
(c)
He played me for a fool
He turned my head around
Like a little girl in school
He wore my defenses down
Oh I thought he was so cool
But he played me for a fool
But I liked the way he walked
Even when he walked away
And I liked the way he talked
And I liked the things he'd say
And I liked the way he gawked at me
When he met me that first day.
But he played me for a fool
I know he ran around
I thought he was so cool
He turned out to be a hound
No, but I won't be his tool
He played me for a fool
Like a baby just reborn
I forget everything I once knew
I forgot that there would always be thorns
Wherever the roses grew.
But I liked the way he walked
Even when he walked away
And I liked the way he talked
And I liked the things he'd say
And I liked the way he gawked at me
When he met me that first day.
But he played me for a fool
I know he ran around
Like a little girl in school
He wore my defenses down
Oh I thought he was so cool
But he played me for a fool
