Mike & The Mechanics Taken In lyrics

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, ooh

When you say you understand, when you reach out for my hand
Oh, I wish I could believe you, taken in, taken in again
