lyrics

Hoodwinked

“Damned,” you said, that’s what I am
Born to be a better man
I don’t really want to be
The king of all that I can see

I want you. I want you out of my life
There can be no reasoning with you
No, no, no, no more pretend

A fool I’ve been for listening
To elastic tongues of slippery friends
On wings of silence I shall fly
Above the scattershot of lies

I want you. I want you out of my life.
There can be no reasoning with you
No, no, no, no more pretend

Is it a scam if you’re willing to be hoodwinked
I don’t blame you. I’m not the fool you tried to shape

You swiped the sugar bowl aside
I wiped away a wasted year
Sweetness is no luxury
To a man with dignity

I want you. I want you out of my life
There can be no reasoning with you
No, no, no, no more pretend

Is it a scam if you’re willing to be hoodwinked
I don’t blame you. I’m not the fool you tried to shape

“Damned,” you said, that’s what I am
Born to be a better man
I don’t really want to be
The king of all that I can see
