​the idiot Lyrics by Sam Nelson

why does everything make me cry?

2023

[Verse 1]
Silver tongue, slight of hand
No, I'm never meant to be your man
Made the rules, played my games
Swore I didn't have a heart to break
[Pre-Chorus]
But seeing you with him
Oh, I can see the joke's on me
[Chorus]
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess I have no right to be mad at you
Guess I'm the hypocrite
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess you were playing me, playing you
Guess I'm the hypocrite
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
Oh-woah, mm-hmm
[Verse 2]
I had my tricks, up my sleeve
I was supposed to be the one who leaves, but
Shame on you, shame on me
For thinking I could get away stress-free
[Pre-Chorus]
But seeing you with him
Oh, I can see that the joke's on me
[Chorus]
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess I have no right to be mad at you
Guess I'm the hypocrite
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess you were playing me, playing you
Guess I'm the hypocrite
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
[Bridge]
Fooled by you
Ooh, yeah
Fooled by you, ooh
[Chorus]
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess I have no right to be mad at you
Guess I'm the hypocrite
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
I guess I'm the idiot
Guess you were playing me, playing you
Guess I'm the hypocrite-eh
I'm just the fool who got fooled by you
[Outro]
Baby, I'm a fool-ooh
Yeah, got fooled by you-ooh, woohoo
Three cheers for the idiot
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo
Three cheers for the idiot
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo-ooh
