Pity The Fool Lyrics - Dr. Hook

You've been stranglin' me, danglin' me, playing me on your string 

Pulling me close, spinnin' me loose, I've been blind to what's happening 

But now I see what you're doing to me, and what's been driving you 

You needed to have the reins in your hands didn't you 

So go on ahead use your beautiful face and collect your pretty boys 

Bring 'em aboard by twos, pity the fool who falls in love with you 

Do what you need be so pretty and cruel and collect those pretty boys 

Bring 'em aboard by twos, bring 'em aboard by fours, pity the fool who falls in love with you 

You've been flirtin' with love, murderin' love bending it just to see 

Just how far you can push this thing 'til it all comes down on me 

You've been playing with love, having your way with love 'til it finally breaks 

Curious to see just how much one man can take 

Go on ahead use your beautiful face and collect your pretty boys 

Bring 'em aboard by twos, pity the fool who falls in love with you 

Do what you need be so pretty and cruel and collect those pretty boys 

Bring 'em aboard by twos, bring 'em aboard by fours, pity the fool who falls in love with you
