How Do You Feel About Foolin' Around

Kris Kristofferson · The Essential Kris Kristofferson [Legacy Recording [2004]

(Kris Kristofferson - Stephen Bruton - Mike Utley)



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...
