Strange voice on the telephone 
Telling me I~d better leave you alone 
Why don~t somebody say what~s going on? 
Uh oh, I think I~ve been through this before 
                      A 
Looks like I~ve been fooled again 
                      G 
Looks like I~ve been fooled again 
  (intro & verse chords) 
I don~t like it 
I don~t like it 
 
You never said you had known, known me too 
I need to know about it, if you do 
If two is one, I might as well be three 
It~s good to see you think so much of me 
                      A
