Fool

I see you running with your friends I don't know why it comes to mind I think of you before our time You go all happy on your way I deny to meet the boys Neon lights and hitting noise And what'd you reckon, baby? Did it cut it? Did it work? Or did pretty boys and pretty words Bring more trouble than they're worth? And now another asking for your hand You don't know if you have it in your heart to roll the dice again I'd rather be the fool You'd know it if it's true Letting go and I'm gonna lose And old dampened youth I'd rather be the fool I love you for all that you've fought I love you for your bitter twist Your gentle hand, your hopeless kiss Oh, I look into your eyes I read your mind and I can tell It's need has been read very well What you reckon, baby? Anybody put to worth? Or draw it off in someone's mind How it feels when we lock eyes And now another asking for your hand You don't know if you have it in your heart to roll the dice again I'd rather be the fool You'd know it if it's true Letting go and I'm gonna lose And old dampened youth I'd rather be the fool I tell myself I wish I'd met you sooner in the game That our hearts still are soothing and our love would play the same But I don't know, babe, might I shouldn't say I cannot time the light, I cannot time the pain I'd rather be the fool You'd know it if it's true Letting go and I'm gonna lose And old dampened youth I'd rather be the fool
