I'm A Fool Too
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
Makes you silly, makes you lose your cool
If that's what it does to you
I'm a fool too.
You daydream like an innocent child
Can't wait to do somethin' foolish and wild
If that's what it does to you
I'm a fool too.
If you're a fool to give in so quickly
To feelings as strong and true
If you're a fool to surrender so easy
To somethin' that's bigger than you
Then I'm a fool too.
You talk for hours on the telephone
Don't want to spend another night alone
If that's what it does to you
I'm a fool too.
You catch yourself just singin' along
To all them old Barry Manilow songs
If that's what it does to you
I'm a fool too.
If you're a fool to give in so quickly
To feeling as strong and true
If you're a fool to surrender so easy
To something that's bigger than you
I'm a fool too...
