I’ve been grounded, I’ve been surrounded
Just like a blind man I’ve been led
I’ve been cheated, I’ve been mistreated
I followed all the things he said
Can he see what he’s done to me
It’s a crime, a dirty rotten shame
Yes, I fell for his game
I’ve been fooled by hate to face men again
How he fooled me, he tried to rule me
My mind was always ill at ease
He misled me, he always fed me
With schemes he hidden up his sleeve
I realized I believe his lies
And I lost the forest for the trees
It’s been all such a shame
I’ve been fooled by hate to face men again
Guess he thinks that he’s a shrewd man
He concedes the dirt he spreads
Stay away from him while you can
Stay away while you are still ahead
I’ve been turned down and I’ve been pushed round
I hate to think how I’ve been done
How he used me, he did abuse me
While all the time he had his fun
Now it’s over, he’s got his clover
And I’m the same as I began
For he is on a time
I’ve been fooled by hate to face men again
I’ve been fooled by hate to face men again
I’ve been fooled by hate to face men again
