How Do You Feel About Foolin' Around
Kris Kristofferson · The Essential Kris Kristofferson [Legacy Recording [2004]
So many people got so many lines
They've all been tried and it's true
They've all got so many reasons for changin' your mind
And there ain't none of 'em new.
But there's just so little distance between me and you
I think we're two of a kind
We won't do nothing you don't wanna do
And I won't tell you no lies.
So tell me how do you feel about foolin' around
Down from your head to your toes
Ain't nothin' realer than right here and now
If it's as far as it goes and it goes.
--- Instrumental ---
You'll never miss nothin' we've never known
You'll never know till you try
Hey, we can take it or leave it alone
But we got so little time.
So tell me how do you feel about foolin' around
Down from your head to your toes
Ain't nothin' realer than right here and now
If it's as far as it goes and it goes...
