Lyrics:
Fool Me Once

Fool Me Once

Mary, Mary
Quite contrary
How far is this gonna go
You say you need me
But you just tease me
You never let me get close
Sometimes it seems that you mess with me
Like I'm some old saxophone
You blow my tune when you're in the mood
Then you leave me all alone

Fool me once, shame on you
That's not a very nice thing to do
Fool me twice, shame on me
I wish you wouldn't drive me crazy

Joey, Joey
Says, "come and hold me,
Why don't you come right here"
But pretty baby
You just say maybe
And you won't let me near
Can't wait to hear you call my name
So I can run to you
I don't know why i keep coming back
When you treat me like you do

Chorus

You tell me lies; I believe they're true
It's that innocent expression
Those angel eyes get me every time
But I refuse to learn my lesson

Onceshame on you
Twice shame on me

Chorus
