Lady, I Wasn’t Born Yesterday 《Woody Ward》

...Well, Ya rode into town shining Like'a pawnshop diamond ring With a well-rehearsed smile and a made-up name I's alone at the bar stoically drinkin' whiskey O,you walked right in an' headed straight to me I saw ya comin' from'a mile away An' I knew the song you're gonna sing But sometimes I let a hustler deal Jus' to see what hand she brings. I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know 'Bout crooked hearts an' their traveling shows. Ya thought I bought it—aww, yer pure fool's gold Lady, I wasn’t born yesterday. —And this ain’t my first rodeo. Then ya got drunk an' yer lies started talkin' Yer character went to pieces/O,it was poorly written All the seams in yer Sunday-best came loose, Till you stood there nude,as truth filled the saloon You reached to pull another card, But your sleeves were bare, I finished my drink;walked out— And left ya standin' there. I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know 'Bout crooked hearts an' their traveling shows. Ya thought I bought it—aww, yer pure fool's gold Lady, I wasn’t born yesterday. —And this ain’t my first rodeo. Every bridge you'd never burn was already catchin' fire It's all goin' up in flame yeah,yer almost'a good liar You can keep yer lies, I’ll keep my peace, There’s nothin' more, I need to know. It ain't my circus, An' they ain’t my monkeys But I damn well know.../ —Every clown in your show. (whoa-OH-O-WHOAAA!!!) I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know 'Bout crooked hearts an' their traveling shows. Ya thought I bought it—aww, yer pure fool's gold Lady, I wasn’t born yesterday. —And this ain’t my first rodeo. Yeeeaah/I'd forgotten more than you’ll ever know 'Bout fast-talkin' hearts from'a travelin' show Ya thought I's beat—but I know when to fold. mmmm,I wasn’t born yesterday O,yeah... this ain’t my first rodeo. You got my attention, Now hit the road. I wasn’t,born yesterday; This ain’t my first rodeo. You had my attention. Go hit the trails to'a lonely road O!/mmm-hmm,I know when to fold I wasn't born yesterday, I know fool's come an' go I left ya standin' there alone, cuz ya didn't think I know Oh,I wasn't born yesterday... —This ain’t my first rodeo.
