"WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES" LYRICS:
He came from somewhere back
In his long ago
(Sentimental fools don't see)
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in their lives
She musters a smile
For a nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
Is sending him somewhere back in his long ago
(Right back there alone)
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his life
(Somehow, someday)
She will return
She had a place in his life
(He) He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
What a fool believes
(I know she's never going away)
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him, I bet)
To be (They're always watching me)
Always better than nothing
Nothing at all
He's making a fool believe
(You're a fool, you're such a fool)
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
(Nobody got it)
What seems
(I know one day she's going away)
To be
(I know one day she's going back, she's going back)
(Nobody can take that, forever a fool) Believes
(You're a fool, you're such a fool)
He sees
(You don't believe no wise man has the power)
