The Last Time I Was Fooled
Well, the last time I was fooled
It almost blew my mind
Pretty women, they were everywhere
Not one of them was mine
I'd faced ten-thousand tomorrows
Instead of one today
You don’t say hi to no one
Or farewell when she goes away
Just last Saturday night
I was sittin' in a nightclub, Jingle Jangle
Lookin' for some chick to strangle
But it was just my foolish pride
Sometimes you alarm me
With ideas of this kind
But, when I’m caught in a cross-fire
Oh, I very seldom mind
Just the thought of something better
It keeps me on my toes
Welcome, sunshine, breathing hotter
And get a little closer to heaven, no
Well, the last time I was fooled
I clearly remember when
‘Cause I foolishly thought to myself
I won't get fooled again
Just take a look at this person
Cooked in potato pie, yeah, yeah
And in answer to your questions
How can I possibly know why?
Oh, and just the thought of something better
It keeps me on my toes
Welcome, sunshine, breathing hotter
And get a little closer to home
Well, the last time I was fooled
Almost blew my mind
Pretty women, they were everywhere
Not one of them were mine
I'd faced ten-thousand tomorrows, believe me
Instead of one today
You don't say hi to no one
Or farewell when she goes away
Oh, no, you don't say hi to no one
Well, that is all I can say
