Taken In (Live United Kingdom 1991) - Mike + The Mechanics

Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger

Of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises

Left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one

When I look in your eyes

I want to believe you

But you know how to lie

And if you say you understand

I don't believe it

And when you reach out for my hand

I don't believe it

And if you say you take the blame

I don't believe it

And if you say that nothing's changed

I don't believe it, don't believe it

Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming

A fool without a friend

There's one born every minute

And you're looking at him

And if you say you want me near

I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears

I don't believe it

And when you swear that you are mine

I don't believe it

And it's your heart that's on the line

I don't believe it, don't believe it

Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger

Of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises

Left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one

When I look in your eyes

I'd love to believe you

But you know how to lie

You say you want me near

I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears

I don't believe it

Oh, there's one born every minute

You're looking at him

Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming

A fool without a friend

I want to believe you, oh

When you say you understand

When you reach out for my hand

Oh, I wish I could believe you

Taken in, taken in again
