I'm Nobody's Fool

Neil Diamond · Other Songs - Neil Diamond

I know your kind, you pick a girl (guy)

Then change your mind and have a whirl

Now the gals (guys) that you've kissed say

I'm next on your list, uh, uh, baby....

I'm nobody's fool

You had you're fun by telling lies

And now you've come to claim this prize

Uh, uh baby

I'm nobody's fool

I've heard your ev'ry lie

Dear, it's the same old tune

Don't even waste your time here

Baby, I'm immune

Just turn around, be on your way

Don't hang around it doesn't pay

Cause I won't take a chance

On a one way romance

Uh, uh baby

I'm nobody's fool

I'm Nobody's Fool
