Kicking down the road
Feeling mighty slowed
With the likes of you
Getting mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're going through
I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screaming the blues

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Trying to make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool out of me

Swing low
Sweet cherry-o
When a strange love showed me the way
You see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's coming on for the play

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Trying to make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool out of me

E Poe
Eating crow
Wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad
Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the best thing he ever had

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Trying to make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool out of me

They play rough
You cant get enough
So they're trying to make a fool out of me

Ain't fooling me
Ya ain't ghouling me
Ain't fooling me
You ain't fooling me
