Fooled me once
Just one more time couldn't do no harm
Set off another false alarm
Pull the trigger but the gun's not loaded
Call the police when the line is dead
Just don't get too close or else
Who's gonna think that you're for real
You're all bark no bite but you claim despite what they revealed
Who's gonna think you mean it
When everyone's watching, everyone's watching
Whatcha constructing, whatcha constructing
Fooled me once
Can you keep a secret, they'd never want you to know
I fear it will grow legs and wander off on its own
Who blew it up? That's a tough one, it was
Another frail construction
Just don't get too close or else
Who's gonna think you're serious
When the picture has been painted and the colors are all faint by now
Who's gonna think you mean it
When everyone's watching, everyone's watching
Who's gonna think that you're for real
You're all bark no bite but you claim despite what they revealed
Who's gonna think you mean it
Man everyone's watching, everyone's watching
Whatcha constructing, whatcha constructing
Fooled me once
So much to discover
And forget right away
Better run for cover
Before it starts to play
Who's gonna think you're serious
When the picture has been painted and the colors are all faint by now
Who's gonna think you mean it
When everyone's watching, everyone's watching
Who's gonna think that you're for real
You're all bark no bite but you claim despite what they revealed
Who's gonna think you mean it
Man everyone's watching, everyone's watching
