Lyrics for Only A Fool

I was a fool to begin with Long before this dance began Oh, there's no mistakin' What you're sayin' with that moony glance Only a fool Would understand I was fool when I met you And oh, I bet you knew it too How else could we stay standin'? All those nights dream-landin', ooh Only a fool Would understand The wisdom of the ages From the Gita to Abraham Was written by smitten, lonely sages Too wise to ever take a chance Life could be cruel Now and then But I couldn't fathom way back when How I'd long to have you break my heart time and again Only a fool Would understand Only a fool Would understand
