What a Fool Believes

What a fool believes, he sees

He came from somewhere back in her long ago

The sentimental fool don't see

Trying hard to recreate

What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

Never coming near what he wanted to say

Only to realize

It never really was

He had a place in her life

She never made him think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power, oh yeah, to reason away

What seems to be

Is always better than nothing, oh yeah

Nothing at all (nothing at all) keeps sending him

Somewhere back in her long ago

Where he can still believe there's a place in her life, hey

Someday, somewhere

She will return

He had a place in her life

She never made him think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go, oh yeah

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be

Is always better than nothing

No, no, no, no, nothing at all (nothing at all)

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power (no wise man has the power) to reason away

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

Yeah, yeah

What a fool believes he sees

Ooh, hold me babe

Hold me, babe
