Tangled up and twisted and I don't know what to do
I'm living with Marie Antoinette
She's living with a fool
Life with her majesty has got one golden rule:
No matter what she will let me forget
That I can't have her cake and eat it too

Pre-chorus
Bring me in and take me down
There's nothing I wouldn't do

Chorus
I'm a fool for the taking
So, baby take me down
I'm a fool for the taking
I'm not that dumb, but I don't mind faking
A fool for the taking
Yeah, a king without a crown
A fool in the making
I can take what you give, 'cause you got me hypnotised

Wrapped in your velvet robe
On your princess phone
Are you afraid to find out what might
Happen when I get you all alone?

Pre-chorus
Chorus
Repeat

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
