They think they know me
But they couldn't be more wrong
They're not hearing what I'm singing
When I sing my song

They say I'm aimless
They don't know I've got a plan
Mystified by me
They don't understand

They tried out pocket-book psychology
They'd better think again
When they try cussing me

Who is fooling who?
Who is fooling? Who is fooling?
Who is fooling? Who is fooling who?

They think they know me
But they couldn't be more wrong
They're not listening what I'm singing
When I'm singing out this song

Well they think they know me
But they haven't got a clue
I'm the one who knows
Who is fooling who?

They think I'm an open book
But they can't see
They're in the darkroom
When it comes to reading me

Who is fooling who?
Who is fooling? Who is fooling?
Who is fooling? Who is fooling who?

You think you're with me
But you couldn't be more wrong
They're not following me closely
But they only trail along

Who do you think is fooling who?
It could be me who's fooling you, hey hey
Who's been fooling who?
Who's been fooling who?

I won't say you're lacking
But you just have no idea
You're not hearing what I'm singing
Though I'm singing loud and clear

You'll never make it
As a player in my band
We can't have that
Oh no, who is fooling who?

You think I'm no good
But there's nothing I can do
Think again
I know who is fooling who

I am the one who knows
Who is fooling who, oh?
Think once again, I know
Who is fooling who, oh?
Who is fooling who?

I am the one who knows
Who is fooling who, oh?
Think once again, I know
Who is fooling who, oh?
