You don't fool me
Queen/und Andere Lyrics

You don't fool me, you don't fool me
I see through your deception and lies; you cannot fool me.

Da da da da dah
Non-verbal filler music.

You don't fool me those pretty eyes
Even your attractive appearance cannot hide your true intentions and deceit.

That sexy smile you don't fool me, uh
Your attempts to charm and seduce me are in vain; I am not fooled by them.

You don't rule me you're no surprise
I am not under your control, and your actions do not astonish me.

You're telling lies hey, you don't fool me
Your words are untruthful, but I am not deceived by them.

Mmm, mama said be careful of that girl
My mother warned me to watch out for someone like you.

Mama said you know that she's no good
My mother advised me that you are someone who cannot be trusted.

Mama said be cool, don't you be no fool
My mother cautioned me not to act impulsively or naively.

Yup bup ba ba ba ba da da da dah
Non-verbal filler music.

You don't fool me she'll take you (you don't fool me) break you (you don't fool me) and break you
You may deceive others, but you cannot deceive me, and I know that you will ultimately harm and damage them.

Sooner or later you'll be playing by her rules
Eventually, you will be under someone else's influence and power, and you will have to obey them.

Baby you don't fool me, yeah
My perception of your true nature is not affected by your endearing term of address.

You don't fool me, you don't have to say 'don't mind'
You do not need to utter polite phrases because I am not susceptible to your manipulation.

You don't have to teach me things I know
I am already aware of what you are trying to teach me, and you are not adding anything new to my understanding.

Oh (fool you) oh (rule you) she'll take you (take you)
My repetition of 'oh' signifies that you are not cognizant of what is happening, and someone else is exerting their influence and power over you.

And break you (break you) yeah
You will suffer harm and damage because of this external agency.

Mama said be cool
My mother warned me to stay calm and level-headed.

Mama said she'll take you for a fool
My mother advised me that you will be deceived or tricked by someone else.

She'll take you and break you
This external force will harm and damage you, causing your downfall.

Ba ba ba ba ba bah bah bah da da dah dah dah
Non-verbal filler music.

Na na na na nah
Non-verbal filler music.

You don't fool me (na na na na nah)
Reiteration of the main message that you are not able to deceive me.

(You don't fool me, you don't fool me) na na na na nah
Further reiteration of the same message through musical repetition.

(You don't fool me) na na na nah
Still further reiteration of the same message.

You don't fool me
Final confirmation that the deception is unsuccessful.
