[Chorus] Taken for a fool Yes, I was because I was a fool Tell me what you do I lost my way and she took me to school
[Verse 2] So many times Caught up in my head at night With a leash and a label If I can learn Anything from this, then I'd be like The fox in the fable, all wise
[Pre-Chorus] If I still fight, it's just that I'm Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
[Bridge] The way we used to carry on Is stuck in my head like a terrible song
[Chorus 2] Taken for a fool Yes I was, and I was a fool I'm following their rules (Following their rules) Guess I was a very honest tool
[Outro] Taken for a fool (taken for a fool) Yes I was, because I was a fool (Taken for a fool)
