Quit making fun of me, I don't like it
  I'm not some "wind-me-up" you can play
  You've go the best of me, I can't fight it
  There's nothing left that I can say
    This run around you're giving me
  It makes me long for better days
  Don't ever take me for a fool
  I'm smart enough to run away
    You're standing over me, I don't mind it
  You have this way of stopping time
  Whenever things turn sour, I'll be on my way
  I only wanna take what's mine
    I say this run around you're giving me
  There's got to be a better way
  Don't ever take me for a fool
  I'm smart enough to run away
    You've go the best of me
  I'm not so blind that I can't see
  Don't ever take me for a fool
  Last thing I want's to be your tool
    Don't ever take me for a fool
  I'm smart enough to run away
    This run around you're giving me, it's not the same
  You don't mean nothing and I can't forget your name
    Don't ever take me for a fool
  I won't forget your golden rule
  I'm smart enough to run away
