Duped Again

She was presumptuous

She was bold to the point of rudeness

But there was always so much subtlety

I never noticed how she treated me

She never liked it when I was superficial

When I only scratched the surface

Loving her could be unnerving

She often made me nervous

She had a wry sense of humor, a dry sense of humor,

A wry sense of humor

She had a witty personality, clever personality

Long may she reign

Rule over me with supreme power

She could be supercilious, so haughty, she looked down on me

But I barely noticed that about her.

I want to be duped again

I want to be fooled again

And I may have been deluded and misled

But I felt so safe inside her spider web

Inside her spider web

Sometimes she’s provoke me

She’d arouse me into action

She’d pick on me because of my views

I’d say I suffered persecution

She never liked it when I was a sycophant

When I tried to be an ass-kisser

I guess it was unsound and unhealthy

But I, I could not resist her.

She had a fluid way about her, a flowing way

About her, a fluid way about her

She had a plethora of talent, a whole lot of talent

A plethora of talent

Long may she reign

Rule over me with supreme power

She could be so irascible, so querulous, so irritable

But I barely noticed that about her, oh

That about her

I want to be duped again

I want to be fooled again

And I may have been deluded and misled

But I felt so safe inside her spider web

Inside her spider web…
