i needed someone i could call my mistress
to help me back from the fire to the frying pan
she’s young enough to write me of as senile
but i’m old enough to read between the lines

she don’t fool me
she thinks i only see what i wanna see
no , she don’t fool me

oh , she don’t fool me
she thinks i only see what i wanna see
oh , she don’t fool me
