Taken for a Fool Lyrics

Sister, it seems like just yesterday
Sister, don't you forget my number on the door
You've got something and it's so good to see
Something wonderful that I could not be
Everybody hanging on for their lives
But you can't help 'em 'cause you don't have the time

I know everyone goes any damn place they like
I hope this goes over well on the toxic radio

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
That's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken for a fool all the time
Oh, I don't know why

Blame yourself for once, quit putting it on me
I can't help you 'cause I've see what it means
It's so early, I don't want to wake up
Oh, we're so lucky 'cause we never grew up

Mama! It feels like just yesterday
Mama don't you forget my number
(I don't wanna be the one to let go)

I know everyone goes any damn place they choose
And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio
A tourist in the ghetto, not afraid of anything
Except death and anything else
That can maybe hurt them both

You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You're so gullible but I don't mind
Well, that's not the problem
And I don't need anyone with me right now
Monday Tuesday is my weekend
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
You get taken all the time for a fool
I don't know why
Well, I don't know why

Lyric Correction

*seen what it means, not see. Typo, sorry, and double post too, wow.

But these should be 100% correct... everyone seems to be getting the "a tourist in the ghetto" line wrong

as well as the "I hope everyone well on the toxic radio", not everyone "will"

My Interpretation
Cover art for Taken for a Fool lyrics by Strokes, The

My guesses, built off of what geskimo had:

Sister I paid the tax yesterday Sister Don't you forget my number on the door You've got something and it's so good to see Something wonderful that I could not be Everybody hangin' on for their lives But you can't help them 'cause you don't have the time

I know everyone goes any damn place they like I hope this goes over well on the toxic radio

You get taken all the time for a fool I don't know why You're so gullible but I don't mind That's not the problem And I don't need any more women right now Monday, Tuesday is my weekend You get taken for a fool all the time I don't know why

But do look forwards, quiet putting on me I can't lift it cause I see what it means It's so early I don't want to wake up Oh, we're so lucky cause we never grow up

Mama It feels like just yesterday Mama Don't you forget my number I don't want to be the one in the coat

I know everyone goes any damn place they choose And I hope everyone will on the toxic radio Don't rest in the ghetto, not afraid of anything Except that anything else that could maybe hurt them all?

You get taken all the time for a fool I don't know why You're so gullible but i don't mind that's not the problem and I don't need any more women right now Monday tuesday is my weekend You get taken for a fool all the time I don't know why You get taken for a fool all the time I don't know why I don't know why

here is my go at it.

Sister, visited us yesterday, Sister, don't you forget my number, on the door. You've got something and it's so good to see, Something wonderful that I could not be. Everybody hanging on for their lives, But you can't help them 'cos you don't have the time.

I know, everyone goes any damn place they like. I hope this goes over well, on the toxic radio. Yeah.

You get taken all the time for a fool. I don't know why. You're so gullible but I don't mind. That's not the problem. And I don't need anyone with me right now. Monday, Tuesday is my weekend. You get taken for a fool all the time. I don't know why.

? I can't let you do those things when it means, It's so early I don't want to wake up. oh we're so lucky 'cos we never grew up.

Mama, it feels like just yesterday. Mama, don't you forget my number I don't want to be the one at the door.

I know, everyone goes any damn place they choose. And I hope everyone well on the toxic radio. A tourist, in the ghetto, not afraid of anything. Except that, on anything else, that could maybe hurt the most. Yeah.

You get taken all the time for a fool. I don't know why. You're so gullible but I don't mind. That's not the problem. And I don't need anyone with me right now. Monday, Tuesday is my weekend. You get taken all the time for a fool. I don't know why. You get taken all the time for a fool. I don't know why. I don't know why.

I hear him say "The Sister" at the first line...

The ??? line is: bring yourself forwards quit putting it on me i can't help you cuz i see what it means
