I met a girl it seems to me like just the other day

She stood up in front of me and then called toward me to say

“Don’t you know it’s better to be sorry than to be safe?”

I said, “that makes all kinds of sense to me, but I did not catch your name,” yeah

He knows that she’s a fantasy, an illusive love affair

He knows her love’s an enemy, just a friend in weather fair

Yeah, I know you think a fool of me, but that’s a cross I’m glad to bear

A fool I may well be, but I’m not goin’ anywhere, yeah, oh, oh, oh

I know, I know, try as i might, i cannot let go

I don’t know what may come of this, I don’t know what lay around

The corner now that my two feet have long since left the ground

I know you think a fool of me to not err on caution’s side

A fool I may well be, my friend, but I’m a fool in paradise, oh, oh, oh

I know, I know, But I know I can’t let go, oh, oh, oh

I know, I know, But I know i can’t let go, oh, oh, oh, I know, I know

Try as I might to ignore

That I have never felt like this before

Yeah try as I might I cannot let go
