Quit making fun of me, I don't like it
I'm not some "wind-me-up" you can play
You've go the best of me, I can't fight it
There's nothing left that I can say

This run around you're giving me
It makes me long for better days
Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

You're standing over me, I don't mind it
You have this way of stopping time
Whenever things turn sour, I'll be on my way
I only wanna take what's mine

I say this run around you're giving me
There's got to be a better way
Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

You've go the best of me
I'm not so blind that I can't see
Don't ever take me for a fool
Last thing I want's to be your tool

Don't ever take me for a fool
I'm smart enough to run away

This run around you're giving me, it's not the same
You don't mean nothing and I can't forget your name

Don't ever take me for a fool
I won't forget your golden rule
I'm smart enough to run away
