Everybody's Fool

You can act like you don't see me when I'm walking through that door.
I can see you over there throwin glances while you talk with your crew.
You can even pretend like your not watching me out on the dance floor,
But don't take me for a fool; I am completely on to you.

I'll give it a little while longer, until we've had a few more drinks
Then I'll approach you, because I know you don't make the first move.
You're seducing me with your eyes and the way you lick your lips.
I've lost touch with my words; you must really think your smooth.

I think you are forgetting our routine, it happens all the time.
Our friends are even expecting it; don't act like you don't know.
We barely speak and do our own thing then we're together a few drinks down the line.
It's amazing how much alcohol helps you to let go.

People are out there talking; they tell you that I'm bad news
But who are they to talk we all have our little secrets.
The only bad thing about me is how much I'm into you.
And how many times I've gone home at night filled with regrets.

I watch how all your girls trip over each other to get to you
I don't want to be one of them I want my own special place
It's kind of intriguing, this little thing that we always do.
I can tell you feel a little something, I see it in your face.

Yet I hate the way you sweet talk me, then push me to the side.
Is it a game that you play to keep me coming back for more?
The cards are on the table now, and I plan to play them right.
If you're smart you will too, because it's time to start keeping score.

It's time for you to stop playin your game and just come real
You either have to play your hand or throw in the cards and fold.
See I think that you're just bluffing, hiding what you feel
So why don't you just speak up and let your secrets be told.

I admit the way you play definitely has me impressed.
You keep me guessing and I guess that's kind of cool.
But now it's starting to completely make me stressed.
I want this game to end, I'm tired of being everybody's fool.
