I left my happy home

I took off down the road

I tried to hold my tongue

I've never felt so dumb

There's only so much I can take

When you point out my every mistake

And you show me up now so everyone can see

You make a fool out of me

I had the strangest dream

I tried but could not scream

Nobody seemed to care

And I'm sure that you were there

What I believe to be true

Whatever my point of view

You prove me wrong and you'll disagree

And you'll make a fool out of me

I took the long way home

I needed time alone

And I breathed the evening air

And I wished that you were there

And how should I take what you say

When you'll just explain it all away

You'll pull the rug out from under my feet

And you'll make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me

You make a fool out of me
