"One For The Money" lyrics

One For The Money

One for the money
Two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money
Then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me

Not too long ago I still remember
Kisses warm and sweet
And, oh, so tender
But like a bolt of lightning
Strikes an unsuspecting tree
That's just how quick you've made a fool of me

One for the money
Two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money
Then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me

Everybody told me
What you were doing
They all said
That you would be my ruin
But like the tree that couldn't see
The lightning flashing down
I closed my ears and didn't hear a sound

One for the money
Two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money
Then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me
