Name: Fool Me
Duration: P00H03M31S
Description: I went on a bunch of dates with this one person and they were great but they'd refuse to talk to me between dates and stood me up a couple of times. This song was something I wrote in relation to what happened and I never thought I'd use the song seriously until I recorded it and really, really liked what I'd recorded. Enjoy!

about

I went on a bunch of dates with this one person and they were great but they'd refuse to talk to me between dates and stood me up a couple of times. This song was something I wrote in relation to what happened and I never thought I'd use the song seriously until I recorded it and really, really liked what I'd recorded. Enjoy!

lyrics

We met by chance.
Two navigators of lonely hearts we dances
And anchored with just one glance.
The chance for romance.

On date one you seemed like you'd be fun.
We took it for a run
Like someone who is on a marathon and

Fool me once, shame on you.
I did what you wanted to do,
And maybe even thought shame on me too.

On date two, it was clear to me that you
Did not want the same thing too
That friendship was the boat you captained.

Fool me twice, shame on me.
Dinner, movies, a chance to see.
The birds of life flying free.
Better never fool me three.

Minus two isn't one plus you.
You'll never have the chance to fool me thrice.
Unless I take the chance and throw the dice.

On date three you wanted to get lost with me.
Not just that but to see
Where that road would lead
Until you never showed up!

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me too.
But fool me three times?
Fool me three times?

When somebody fools you thrice.
You don't need any advice.
You know you need to.
You know you need to say goodbye. One.
Goodbye. Two.
Goodbye. Three.
Better never fool me number four.
