Empty heads can be so cruel
But empty words make life so full
Said I owed it all to you
So I took the measure of your pleasure

You thought you knew my simple heart
But you didn't recognise the crucial part
It's always too soon
Stepped out of line too far this time

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do

You fold like paper in my hands
You fell for everything I planned
You didn't see it 'til it touched your sweet face
Made you hate me, never forgave me

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do

Violently the moment came
And someone knew they'd take the blame
A vicious streak a mile wide
So you learnt the hard way
But who cares anyway

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do
