Girl, I can see
You're new to this thing
There's a line on your finger
Where you once wore a ring
But I've worked here a long time
Hearts break in this bar
And when you pulled off your jacket
You went too far ('cause)
He's a taker, a faker
A lover of fools
Don't turn around
He's got his eye on you
He's a maker, a breaker
A lover of fools
Don't stick around
Or he'll make a fool out of you
Girl, others have seen
His words turn to dust
They cry on my shoulder
Victims of trust
By using the lonely
He gets his high
The only way you can stop him
Is to cut his supply ('cause)
He's a taker, a faker
A lover of fools
Don't turn around
He's got his eye on you
He's a maker, a breaker
A lover of fools
Don't stick around
Or he'll make a fool out of you
You may want mystery
Or a smooth-talkin' man
But it will all disappear
With a wave of his hand ('cause)
He's a taker, a faker
A lover of fools
Don't turn around
He's got his eye on you
He's a maker, a breaker
A lover of fools
Don't stick around
Or he'll make a fool out of you
