Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I said no no don't let me play the fool

I can't really love you by the rules

For my love is sweet and free

[Verse 2]

I said no no don't let me play the fool

For this thing you ask oh it's so cruel

Just can't you see it isn't me baby

[Verse 3]

What you ask of me is just to be your clown

Someone you can lead about and show around

Why make of our love a children's puppet show

Can't I simply love you in the way I know

What I ask of you is not to turn away

Listen to the words that I'm trying to say

Our love could be an adventure every day

Cause I love you love you love you love you

[Verse 4]

No no don't let me play the fool

I can't really love you by the rules

For my love is sweet and free

I said no no don't let me play the fool

For this thing you ask oh it's so cruel

Just can't you see it isn't me baby

[Verse 5]

All I want from you is a little sympathy

Try to understand what it would be for me

All my hopes and dreams would be bound and tied

Any hope of freedom will have surely died

I want to know that I can fall in love again

And be sure that my love will never know restrain

So please just let me love you in the way I know

Cause I love you love you baby I love you

[Verse 6]

I said no no don't let me play the fool

I can't really love you by the rules

For my love is sweet and free

I said no no don't let me play the fool darling

For this thing you ask oh it's so cruel

Just can't you see it isn't me

[Verse 7]

I said no no don't let me play the fool

I can't really love you by the rules

For my love is sweet and free baby

I said no no don't let me play the fool darling

For this thing you ask oh it's so cruel

Just can't you see it isn't me baby

So don't let me play the fool
