Credulous
I thought I’d be happy, once I was rich
I thought I’d have the world by the tail
But now I see I’m still down in the ditch
I have to get out if my boat’s going to sail
I hoped to be wiser by taking some advice
I figured others knew more than I knew
It resulted in paying a much higher price
But like I was told, few know more than I do
I’ve always been credulous as bloody hell
Believing even the most outrageous tale
Like the one about the diamond in a shell
I have to get out if my boat’s going to sail
