At last I've awakened to see what you've done
All I can do is pack up and run
Now I know the rules
Find yourself another fool
You said that you loved me
I was yours to command
Your kind of loving
My heart couldn't stand
You played me for a fool
Find yourself another fool
And now, now that we're through
You say you wished you'd been true
Oh, but deep down in my heart I know
Our love could never grow
And now, now that we're through
You say you wish you'd been true
Oh, but deep down in my heart I know
Our love will never grow
At last I've awakened to see what you've done
All I can do is pack up and run
Now I know the rules
Find yourself another fool
Now I know the rules
Find yourself another fool
