Only A Fool

Only a fool would say
Talk about yesterday
I want to hear you say 'I love you'

Only a fool won't see
That you have done with me
And you will never be mine

So if you want a fool
Then I will bend the rule
Though it may break my heart
I want to be wherever you are

Only a fool so blind
Wouldn't see that girl's the kind
To really destroy my mind and soul

If you want a fool
Then I will bend the rule
Though it may break my heart
I want to be wherever you are

Only a fool would say
Talk about yesterday
I want to hear you say 'I love you'

So if you want a fool
Then I will bend the rule
Though it may break my heart
I want to be just where you are

So if you want a fool
Then I will bend the rule
Though it may break my heart
I want to be wherever you are
