Mike + The Mechanics — Taken In lyrics

Lyrics

Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I’m the only one when I look in your eyes
I want to believe you but you know how to lie
And if you say you understand I don’t believe it And when you reach out for my hand I don’t believe it And if you say you take the blame I don’t believe it And if say that nothing’s changed I don’t believe it, don’t believe it Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
There’s one born every minute and you’re looking at him
And if you say you want me near I don’t believe it And when you’re holding back the tears I don’t believe it And when you swear that you are mine I don’t believe it And it’s your heart that’s on the line I don’t believe it, don’t believe it Taken in, taken in again
Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
No pride, taken for a ride
You say I’m the only one when I look in your eyes
I’d love to believe you but you know how to lie
You say you want me near I don’t believe it And when you’re holding back the tears I don’t believe it Oh, there’s one born every minute, you’re looking at him
Taken in, taken in again
Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
I want to believe you, oh When you say you understand
When you reach out for my hand
Oh, I wish I could believe you
Taken in, taken in again
