The lyrics of Queen's song You Don't Fool Me suggest a warning to a potential lover who is not what they seem to be. The repeated refrain of "You don't fool me" serves as the song's title and is indicative of the band's strong belief in telling the truth, as opposed to lying or deceit. The song is essentially a commentary on the consequences of trusting someone who isn't trustworthy.
As the song progresses, the lyrics include quotes from Mama advising to be wary of the girl in question, saying things like "be careful of that girl," "she's no good," and "she'll take you for a fool." Despite the warning, the singer of the song seems to be unable to resist the girl's allure, with the lyrics saying "sooner or later you'll be playing by her rules." As a result, the song is both a cautionary tale of love and power dynamics as it is an assertion of the human ability to see through deception.
Overall, You Don't Fool Me is a powerful message of being true to oneself and trusting one's instincts. The lyrics call for authenticity and honesty in an often inauthentic world, suggesting that we must always be true to ourselves and be weary of those who try to fool us.
