Verse 1: I'm a fine young man That's what my teachers say Yeah but who gave them the right To tell me what's not wrong anyway I take to heart and listen to their pleas I follow all the paths that they've laid Bridge: They fooled me once They fooled me twice Shame on them for doing me that way Shame on me just the same Verse 2: Sweet Ann Marie She was the beauty of our school I emptied both my pockets And my money was seduced by her eyes of blue She gave me her love and her malady But it seems that she had more to spread around Bridge: She fooled me once She fooled me twice Shame on her for doing me that way Shame on me just the same Chorus: Shame on you for doing me that way Shame on me for thinking you could change Shame on you for telling me those lies Shame on me I believed you every time Verse 3: Surgeon general he warns me Don't drink or smoke to excess 'Cause that alcohol will own you And the smoking tempts the devil to your chest Don't preach to me boy 'cause I won't learn a thing Now fetch me one more smoke before I drown Bridge: You fooled me once You fooled me twice Shame on you for doing me that way It's always shame on me just the same Chorus Ending I'm a fine young man That's what my teachers say
