Fool Country
Olivia Newton-John · Gold [2005]
Fool,whatever you do you're reminded
Fool,wherever you go you won't find it
I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles
Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while
I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles
Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while
Fool,fool,fool
Fool,fool,fool
Fool,wherever you go you're a loser
Such a fool,I want you to know you're a loser
I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles
Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while
I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles
Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while
Fool,fool
(country/western beat)
I'm sure I should pass a law laid down
Declare you will never wear your face in a frown
Obey or be on your way, get on the first stage out of this town
There's me and my deputies, so shake it down
If you don't grin, we will take you in
So spread some sunshine around
Obey or be on your way, get on the first stage out of this town
