< instrumental opening >

You can't pull the wool over my eyes,

you can't get away telling those lies!

You're not the way you used to be,

I've got eyes that I can see

you've been steppin' out on me,

what a surprise, I'm wise!

You can't tell a lie, try as you may . . .

That look in your eyes gives you away

Oh, you've got yourself in a jam,

you're gonna lose your honey lamb,

'cause you can't pull the wool over my eyes!
