Taken for a Fool

We're all searching for compassion

One who feels just what we feel

To give ourselves completely to

And to get it all back too (and to get it back too)

Had a rough day here today

The times they're tough when you don't get your way

Got my ticket out of town

Too much here that brings me down (too much here that brings me down)

 —

Understanding someone who, yeah, gives and takes from you

Is understanding your needs, and what you have too

To get to know your true self, that's a precious tool

'Cause it's a rough life baby, when you're taken for a fool

 —

[Repeat chorus]

 —

It's my life that's in my song

I have a dream that I will live long

I've paid my dues, yeah I sung my blues

Ain't got nothing left to lose (got nothing left to lose no, no, no)

 —

'Cause understanding somebody who, yeah, falls in love with you

Is understanding your needs, and all you have too

To get to know your true self, that's a precious tool

'Cause it's a rough life baby, when you're taken for a fool
