YOU CAN'T FOOL ME
(Eartha Kitt / Joachim Kühn)

Eartha Kitt - 1991


I washed the linen on the bed
And placed the pillows so
Alone I'm going to sleep tonight
Is all I need to know, arrrrrrr

You can't fool me
You had me there before
You can't fool me
'Cause now I know the score

You said I would never worry
All my woes would be gone
Now you seem in such a hurry
To sing the same old song

We used to dine on crepes suzettes
The champagne flowed like wine
Now those tomorrows will never come
And being alone is divine

I don't have to paint my face
Or even comb my hair
I'll just clean up the mess you made
Thank God you won't be there

You can't fool me
You had me there before
You can't fool me
Don't you even try

I know when the game is up
I lay so peacefully on my bed
And overflow my cup with wine and caviar
Here's to you, bottoms up

(Instrumental Break)

You can't fool me
You had me there before
You can't fool me
Don't you even try

I know when the game is up
I lay so peacefully on my bed
And overflow my cup with wine and caviar
Here is to you, bottoms up
You can't fool me!
