[Verse 1]
You played me for a fool
And I played the part so well
You played it smart, you played it cool
Broke every promise, every rule
And I couldn't even tell

[Verse 2]
You looked me in the eyes
And said I was the only one
It was no surprise
That I kept falling for your lies
And they had only just begun

[Chorus]
Fool me once, shame on you
You told me that you would be true
You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame on me

[Verse 3]
I thought I'd won your heart
But you were still in love with him
You said we'd never be apart
It was a lie right from the start
You left me hanging on this limb
[Verse 4]
I never thought that you could be
The kind to hurt me just for fun
But it's sure no fun for me
I think it's time to set you free
Pick myself up and say we're done

[Chorus]
Fool me once, shame on you
You told me that you would be true
You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame on me

[Outro]
You were so easy to believe
Fool me twice, shame on me
