The Last Time I Was Fooled - Brinsley Schwarz

Well, the last time I was fooled

It almost blew my mind

Pretty women, they were everywhere

Not one of them was mine

I’d faced ten-thousand tomorrows

Instead of one today

You don’t say hi to no one

Or farewell when she goes away

Just last Saturday night

I was sittin' in a nightclub, Jingle Jangle

Lookin' for some chick to strangle

But it was just my foolish pride

Sometimes you alarm me

With ideas of this kind

But, when I’m caught in a cross-fire

Oh, I very seldom mind

Just the thought of something better

It keeps me on my toes

Welcome, sunshine, breathing hotter

And get a little closer to heaven, no

Well, the last time I was fooled

I clearly remember when

‘Cause I foolishly thought to myself

I won’t get fooled again

Just take a look at this person

Cooked in potato pie, yeah, yeah

And in answer to your questions

How can I possibly know why?

Oh, and just the thought of something better

It keeps me on my toes

Welcome, sunshine, breathing hotter

And get a little closer to home

Well, the last time I was fooled

Almost blew my mind

Pretty women, they were everywhere

Not one of them were mine

I’d faced ten-thousand tomorrows, believe me

Instead of one today

You don’t say hi to no one

Or farewell when she goes away

Oh, no, you don’t say hi to no one

Well, that is all I can say
