You could've taken me and all the love I had
You could've shaken me and never once looked back
You could've made my world just crumble and fall
Instead you stood by me through it all and I'm so glad
You could've fooled me but you didn't
You could've stole my heart and just walked away
You could've fooled me but you wouldn't
That's just not the kind of game you play
You told me you'd love me a long time ago
And you're still here to show me it's so
And we both know you could've fooled me

What did I ever do to deserve someone like you
If I ever lost your love I'd have nothing left to lose
You could've lied to me I was young and naive
I loved you so much I would have never believed you'd be untrue
You could've fooled me

The thunder has roared the lightning has cracked
You could have sworn that you'd love me forever
And suddendly just disappear in a flash
You could've fooled me but you didn't
You could've stole my heart and just walked away
You could've fooled me fooled me but you couldn't
That's just not the kind of game you play
You could've fooled me you could've fooled me
