Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises, left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes

I want to believe you but you know how to lie



And if you say you understand I don't believe it

And when you reach out for my hand I don't believe it

And if you say you take the blame I don't believe it

And if say that nothing's changed I don't believe it, don't believe it



Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend

There's one born every minute and you're looking at him



And if you say you want me near I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it

And when you swear that you are mine I don't believe it

And it's your heart that's on the line I don't believe it, don't believe it



Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises, left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes

I'd love to believe you but you know how to lie



You say you want me near I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it

Oh, there's one born every minute, you're looking at him



Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend

I want to believe you, oh

When you say you understand

When you reach out for my hand

Oh, I wish I could believe you

Taken in, taken in again
