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 you 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, ooh

When you say you understand, when you reach out for my hand
Oh, I wish I could believe you, taken in, taken in again
