Mr. Magoo was a popular cartoon character from UPA studios. The central gag of his shorts was that he was nearly blind and frequently almost meeting calamity.
Here he’s used as a metaphor for deception–even Mr. Magoo would be able to see well enough to see that the narrator’s girlfriend is doing hi...
[Verse 1]
I may be Mr. Magoo, but I see through you, yeah
(Stupid fool, old Magoo)
You got a way to suck me in
And then you spit me out again
I try to take it on the chin
But I bump in to everything
You know the way to keep me blind
Diggin' that silly old grin of mine
If I give you my world, and you don't want it, that's just fine
[Chorus 1]
When I don't know my way around
I do all right, and I get along
My intuition is strong
I may be blind but I know what's going on
[Chorus 2]
I want to love, but I don't know the danger I'm in
Forgetting all the trouble you've been
You keep me waiting in the wings
You're flying high with all your friends
You sail me like a paper plane
Then bring me down to earth again
(You stupid fool, old Magoo)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus 2]
When I don't know my way around
I do all right, and I get along
My intuition is strong
If you come along, I'll be going, going, gone now
[Outro]
May be Mr. Magoo, but I see through you, yeah
(Stupid fool)
I may be Mr. Magoo, but I see right through you
Mr. Magoo, but I see through you, yeah
(Stupid fool, old Magoo)
I may be Mr. Magoo, but I see right through you
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
Mr. Magoo, but I see through you, yeah
(Stupid fool, old Magoo)
May be Mr. Magoo, but I see right through you
