nobody's fool

There's a good chance that we've all at least witnessed this happening - none of us would admit to committing the offence, though!

I see you lookin’ at that girl with the long blonde hair;
you don’t say it but I know you’re wishin’ you were there;
you make some excuse about needin’ some air but I wonder;
I think that you’re over there gettin’ her number.

I’m nobody’s fool; you’ve had your chances; you think that doin’ wrong’s all right,
but now that I see what you’re doin’ to me, I’m nobody’s fool tonight;
nobody’s fool tonight.

Light from the dance floor casts a shadow across your face,
but I don’t need to see it to know that you’re asking her back to your place;
you’re talking for ages, I don’t know what takes you so long,
but when you come back you’re smilin’ and singin’ that song.

I’m nobody’s fool; you’ve had your chances; you think that doin’ wrong’s all right,
but now that I see what you’re doin’ to me, I’m nobody’s fool tonight;
nobody’s fool tonight.

Don’t think for a moment that I’m gonna put up with this;
don’t expect me to turn a blind eye to some little miss.

So the evenin’ drags on and you can’t keep your eyes off her face;
I pretend not to notice but you can tell you’re in disgrace;
when it’s time to go home I leave you standin’ at the door;
we’re been here before and I’m not gonna take any more.

I’m nobody’s fool; you’ve had your chances; you think that doin’ wrong’s all right,
but now that I see what you’re doin’ to me, I’m nobody’s fool tonight;
nobody’s fool tonight;
nobody’s fool tonight;
nobody’s fool tonight.
