[intro] Dm
Sister, I paid the tax yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number, on this door
You've got something and it's so good to see
Something wonderful that I could not be
Everybody hanging on for their lives
But you can't help them 'cos you don't have the time
I know, everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well, on the toxic radio
[chorus]
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why
[solo] Dm F C Gm Bb F C
But do look forwards, quiet putting on me
I can't let you do those things when it means
It's so early I don't want to wake up
I wish I left you 'cos we never grew up.
Mama, it feels like just yesterday
Mama, don't you forget my number?
Dm
I don't want to be the one at the door
I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose
and I hope everyone will, on the toxic radio
Don't rest in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except that anything else that could maybe hurt them all?
[chorus]
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday, Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
I don't know why
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
I don't know why
[outro] Bb C F
