YOU DONT FOOL ME

By the Urban Poet

Your pearly smile and gentleman's grip

The way you drink things sip by sip

The educated standing in all you do

But none of it covers up the real you

 

We can always count on a shady manoeuvre 

Before you give your seal of approval 

It's as if you don't trust anyone at all

If you ever did then I don't recall 

              

The sharp Italian suits, the pure silk tie

The way you look people in the eye

You seem to search their very soul

From the youngest to the really old

               

But amidst all this, the success rate

Is right up there and it all looks great

It's all down to you and that’s plain to see

Which is all well and good but...

                You don't fool me
