Lyrics
There you was a-standin' with your feelings hurt
Addressing someone who appears upset, questioning the cause of their distress
Who was to blame?
Raising the question of responsibility for the emotional hurt
Oh no, it can't be you
Expressing doubt that the person being addressed is at fault, suggesting they are too composed
You're much too cool to scar your name
Acknowledging the person's cool demeanor, implying they wouldn't damage their reputation
Ah, what you did to me when I needed you
Recalling a past action that hurt the speaker when they were vulnerable
A trick, then a smile, you hurt me
Describing a deceitful action followed by a smiling betrayal
When will you be through
Questioning when the deceptive behavior will end
You're just thinking of you
Accusing the person of being self-centered, only concerned about themselves
Who's your next fool?
Rhetorical question about who the person will deceive next
Don't look now but turn around
Advising the person not to ignore the truth and to introspect
And ask the mirror on the wall
Suggesting self-reflection by asking a mirror about personal actions and choices
Why is it that I made it here
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons for personal success
You know I can't recall
Indicating a lack of memory regarding the journey to success
Don't be surprised if it just laughs back at you
Anticipating a mocking response from the mirror, emphasizing self-deception
For who could you kid when you know
Questioning the sincerity of the person's actions, pointing out self-awareness
You went to a rare school
Referring to a unique or unconventional education, possibly sarcastically
You made up your own rules
Highlighting the creation of personal rules and the disregard for conventional norms
You're the next fool
Labeling the person as the next one to be deceived or hurt
There you was a-standin' with your feelings hurt
Repeating the initial scene of someone standing with hurt feelings
Who was to blame?
Reiterating the question of responsibility for the emotional distress
Oh no, it can't be you
Expressing doubt again about the person being at fault due to their composed nature
You're much too cool to scar your name
Reaffirming the person's cool demeanor and unwillingness to tarnish their reputation
Ah, what you did to me when I needed you
Recalling a past hurtful action when the speaker needed support
A trick, then a smile, you hurt me
Describing a deceitful action followed by a smiling betrayal, echoing previous lines
When will you be through
Repeating the question of when the deceptive behavior will come to an end
You're just thinking of you
Accusing the person again of being self-centered and only concerned about themselves
Who's your next fool?
Reiterating the rhetorical question about who the person will deceive next
