I know that's what you'd like to see
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
I watched my face in a barroom mirror
etched in crystal, and lost
And I saw the soundtrack to
drift behind me like a ghost
Come and watch me dance with my own shadow,
I know that's what you'd like to see
Fool me once, shame on you
Cowboy songs and crossroads deals
Same old stories in my head
in a downstairs room in a single bed
I know that's what you like to see
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
I found no romance in empty bottles
There are no heroes in dirty street fights
You keep on firing till you're empty
To kill the fear so you can
I know that's what you'd like to see
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
I know that's what you'd like to see
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
