Taken In Lyrics By Mike The Mechanics

    taken in taken in again
    wrapped around the finger
    of some fairweather 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

    saxophone

    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

    saxophone

    taken in taken in again
    wrapped around the finger
    of some fairweather 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

    through saxophone
    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
