You Could Have Fooled Me

[Orchestral Exposition] [Verse 1] Play Bach while savorin' Bordeaux Even if I don't recognize the two You say it's you tested and approved You jabber on 'bout unfinished bass notes While pretending that you understand Every subtle nuance in the grand design [Pre-Chorus] Don't gotta do this just to gain some good graces I gotta use words just like "cool," "awesome," and "heavy" Mmm, yeah [Chorus] Your sophistication really attracts me Yeah, you could have fooled me! Your connoisseur ways are a masterpiece Yeah, you could have fooled me! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Tastes great while watchin' Bugs Bunny Hey, pass it to the left side So insane that Tchaikovsky's alive and well In your vinyl collection gathering dust While you're searching for the perfect words To describe what you think you should feel [Bridge] Even composers gotta like it soft sometimes You remind me of "cool," "awesome," and "heavy" When you're trying to sound profound Mmm, but I see right through [Chorus] Your sophistication is beyond me Yeah, you could have fooled me! Your expertise is poetry Yeah, you could have fooled me! [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Your sophistication is beyond me Yeah, you could have fooled me! Your expertise is poetry Yeah, you could have fooled me! [Outro] You could have fooled me Ah, you could have fooled me But you didn't fool me at all
