| Same old situation coming back again
|
| And I suppose it’s been the fate of many, many men
|
| I tried and tried and tried and tried to please that girl
|
| Oh, but I found out it simply does not end
|
| Fool somebody else
|
| Do it to yourself, mama, tell me how it feels
|
| When you hold somebody tight
|
| Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
|
| Would you give up all your love
|
| If you already knew it would never be enough?
|
| Put my heart back on the shelf
|
| Why don’t you fool somebody else?
|
| Here we go again, we’ve reached the bitter, bitter end
|
| And there’s no more light, I lost my bestest precious freind
|
| You tried, I lied, we cried about anything at all
|
| And I still found out I’m never gonna win
|
| Fool somebody else
|
| Do it to yourself, mama, like you’re doing it tome
|
| Hold somebody close
|
| Knowing very well that they’re just about to leave
|
| Trust 'em with your heart
|
| Even though you know they’d betray you from the start
|
| Fool somebody else
|
| 'Cause what you’re doing ain’t good for my health
|
| Fool somebody else
|
| Do it to yourself, mama, tell me how it feels
|
| When you hold somebody tight
|
| Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
|
| Would you give up all your love
|
| If you already knew it would never be enough?
|
| Put my heart back on the shelf
|
| Why don’t you fool somebody else? |
