He Took Advantage (Blues For Ronald Reagan)

(album: Strange Weather - 1992)

I should have known from the start
He'd find a way to your heart
He said that he was a friend
That was a lie in the end
He told you I was untrue
Then took advantage of you

He looked you right in the eyes
And told those beautiful lies
The way he made you feel
You thought his love was real
He was too good to be true
He took advantage of you

It's a lowdown dirty shame he doesn't have to pay
For being so deceitful and treating us this way
He used us and betrayed us and made it seem alright
He turned his back on everyone
I don't know how he sleeps at night

And now he's walking away
He doesn't care what we say
We weren't too hard to deceive
We wanted so to believe
He was too good to be true
He took advantage of you
