That you'd really tear me apart
But what you did not understand
Is that you really didn't own my heart
You went out and did everything
You made me stay at home
But all the time while you were out there girlI wasn't always at home alone
Tell me who
Who's fooling who
Are you fooling me
Or I am fooling you
Who's, who's fooling who
Who's fooling who
Were you fooling me
Or was I fooling you
You see while you thought
You were seeking away from me
There was always someone else
That I was waiting to see
But that's really not important now
It's all over said and done
And now that the truth is out little girl
You weren't the only one havin' fun
Tell me who
Who's fooling who
Were you fooling me
Or was I fooling you
Who, who's fooling whoAre you foolin me,
Or am I foolin' you
You see I got the last laugh
You'va laughed all that you could
But what you didn't know little girl
Is that I always had the winning hand
Tell me who
Who's fooling who
Are you fooling me
Or I am fooling you
Who, who's foolin who
Are ya foolin' me,
Or am I foolin' you
Tell me baby, who's foolin' who
Were you foolin' me or was I foolin' you
Won't ya tell me
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Who is foolin who
Now tell me who (Who is foolin who)
Who's foolin' who (Who is foolin who)
Were you foolin' me (Who is foolin who)
Or was I foolin' you (Who is foolin who)
Who, (Who is foolin who)

Were ya foolin' me for my foolishness girl (Who is foolin who)
Or was I foolin' you (Who is foolin who)
The lyrics to One Way & Al Hudson's song "Who's Foolin' Who" depict a situation where a relationship has ended because one partner thought they had the upper hand in the relationship, but the other partner had been secretly seeing someone else all along. The song is about uncovering the truth and revealing who was actually fooling who in the relationship.
The first verse suggests that the person who left the relationship thought they had control over the other person's emotions, but they didn't truly understand how the other person felt. The second verse reveals that while the person was out and about doing whatever they wanted, the other person was also seeing other people. The chorus asks the question of who was really fooling who in the situation, and the bridge suggests that the person singing the song had the last laugh because they had actually been one step ahead all along.
The lyrics provide insight into the power dynamic of relationships and how easy it is for one person to think they have the upper hand, only to realize later that they didn't truly understand the other person's feelings or actions. The song serves as a reminder that relationships involve two people, and it's important to communicate openly and honestly to avoid misunderstandings.

You thought when you had left me
You believed that leaving me would shatter me completely
That you'd really tear me apart
That your departure would cause me emotional and mental distress
But what you did not understand
You didn't grasp the truth
Is that you really didn't own my heart
My heart didn't solely belong to you
You went out and did everything
You engaged in various activities
You made me stay at home
You compelled me to remain at home
But all the time while you were out there girl
During the times when you were not home
I wasn't always at home alone
I wasn't always by myself at home
Tell me who
Please inform me
Who's fooling who
Who is deceiving whom
Are you fooling me
Are you the one deceiving me
Or I am fooling you
Or am I the one deceiving you
Who's, who's fooling who
Who, exactly is trying to deceive someone else
Were you fooling me
Were you deceiving me
Or was I fooling you
Or was I the one deceiving you
You see while you thought
While you believed
You were seeking away from me
You were distancing yourself from me
There was always someone else
I had someone else in my life
That I was waiting to see
That I was waiting to meet
But that's really not important now
However, that's irrelevant now
It's all over said and done
It's a closed chapter now
And now that the truth is out little girl
Now that the facts have been revealed, dear
You weren't the only one havin' fun
You weren't the sole person having a good time
You'va laughed all that you could
You have laughed to your heart's content
But what you didn't know little girl
What you were unaware of
Is that I always had the winning hand
I always had a superior strategy
Were ya foolin' me
Were you deceiving me
Who was foolin who
Who was deceiving whom
Were ya foolin' me for my foolishness girl
Were you deceiving me because I was gullible, dear
Or was I foolin' you
Or was I the one deceiving you
Now tell me who (Who is foolin who)
Now, kindly inform me who is trying to deceive someone else
Who's foolin' who (Who is foolin who)
Who is deceiving whom (asked repeatedly)
Were you foolin' me (Who is foolin who)
Were you trying to deceive me
Or was I foolin' you (Who is foolin who)
Or was I the one deceiving you
Who, (Who is foolin who)
Who
Are ya foolin' me, (Who is foolin who)
Are you trying to deceive me, (asked repeatedly)
Or am I foolin' you (Who is foolin who)
Or am I the one deceiving you
