Lyrics
The king of hearts has won the final inning
He made his move and played his hand so well
And everyone thinks he's got it made
'Cause no one can tie him down
Everybody said he was a damn fool
Giving me the runaround
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
After all his talk, I guess he won the prize
Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?
Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool
To listen to his runaround
I was trying to act just like a lady
I turned him down, then he took me by surprise
Now, who would have thought that a girl like me
Could be swayed so easily?
Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool
'Cause I gave what he took for free
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
After all his talk, I guess he won the prize
I never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?
Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool
To listen to his runaround
Now, the king of hearts can't play his games forever
And the jester's not the fool when the king is old
Oh, later on, will he think of me when his castle walls get cold?
Will he care to call? Will he care at all?
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
After all his talk, I guess he won the prize
Never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?
Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool
To listen to his runaround
Hey, all he did was tell me lies to try to woo me, oh
After all his talk, I guess he won the prize
I never meant to stay, how could he do it to me?
Oh, everybody said I was a damn fool
To listen to his runaround
Yes, everybody said I was a damn fool
To listen to his runaround
