Play The Fool

You were just a little thing to me
 Someone I could talk to comfortably
 But then I spilled my heart out
 What I way to start out
 You left me behind
 I hope you don't mind
 If I don't oblige you every time
 Now everybody knows that you are cruel
 But they think of me less cause I'm your fool
 Just a tool to be used by the cruel
 And now that I'm your instrument
 You can play me to your heart's content
 You left me behind I hope you don't mind
 If I don't oblige you every time
 You tempt me baby
 You fuck me up
 And everybody tells me that I should try my luck elsewhere
 But I'm not movin' I should give up on you
 You build me up darlin' and smack me down
 And everybody tells me they see you messin' round on me
 I guess I'm saying that I'm not willing to play the fool
 It appears that you have conquered me
 Got this stagnant king surrounded
 With no queen
 But nothing is permanent
 And all that time you spent
 Spreading your love out all over town has brought the net worth of your lovin' down
 Now everybody knows that you are cruel
 But they think of me less cause I'm your fool
 Just a tool to be used by the cruel
 And now that I'm your instrument
 You can play me to your heart's content
 You left me behind I hope you don't mind
 If I don't oblige you every time
 You tempt me baby
 You fuck me up
 And everybody tells me that I should try my luck elsewhere
 But I'm not movin' I should give up on you
 You build me up darlin' and smack me down
 And everybody tells me they see you messin' round on me
 I guess I'm saying that I'm not willing to
 Darling it's not a secret love
 If you aren't covert
 And every tender moment we've shared
 Just seems so rehearsed
 And I know that everything you told me what a dirty white lie
 The moment that I saw you with that other guy
 Is it true? Is it true? What my friends say about you?
 You tempt me baby
 You fuck me up
 And everybody tells me that I should try my luck elsewhere
 But I'm not movin' I should give up on you
 You build me up darlin' and smack me down
 And everybody tells me they see you messin' round on me
 I guess I'm saying that I'm not willing to play the fool
