Lyrics
To make you laugh, I would be a fool for you
Although the people turn and stare, I really don't care
I would give my everything to keep you, boy
It breaks my heart when you're not there
I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop
Command performance finger size
And although I ain't got no tune, my show ain't gon' fly
I'll find the music there in your eyes
Oh me, oh my, I'm a fool for you baby (be no)
(Fool for you) Oh me, oh my (I)
I am crazy, baby (crazy, baby)
Oh me, oh my (me, oh my)
Yeah, I'm a fool for ya', baby (don't wanna be no)
Come on, let your love light shine on me (shine on me)
We'll blow a genie from a cigarette
And then, we'll take a magic carpet ride, yes, we will
And we'll tell our smokey friend, "Hey, don't you forget
Because you got to keep us side by side", yeah
Oh me, oh my (me, oh my)
I am a fool for ya baby (be no)
Oh me (fool for you), oh my (I)
You know that I'm (crazy), crazy, baby, yes, you do (crazy, baby)
Oh me, oh my (me, oh my)
Woah-oh (don't wanna), I'm a fool for ya', baby (be no)
Come on, let your love light shine on me (shine)
Would you do that? (On me)
Come on, let your love light shine just a little bit (shine)
Right on me, oh (on me)
Come on, let your love light shine on me (shine on me)
Oh, hear me now
Oh me, me, oh my
I'm a fool (don't wanna), for you, baby (be no)
Oh me, oh my (I)
You know that I'm crazy, baby (crazy, baby)
