He Took Advantage (Blues For Ronald Reagan)

I should have known from the start

He'd find a way to your heart

He said that he was a friend

That was a lie in the end

He told you I was untrue

Then took advantage of you

He looked you right in the eyes

And told those beautiful lies

The way he made you feel

You thought his love was real

He was too good to be true

He took advantage of you

It's a lowdown dirty shame he doesn't have to pay

For being so deceitful and treating us this way

He used us and betrayed us and made it seem alright

He turned his back on everyone

I don't know how he sleeps at night

And now he's walking away

He doesn't care what we say

We weren't too hard to deceive

We wanted so to believe

He was too good to be true

He took advantage of you
