You don't want to come home cryin' 
Lose that magic in your smile 
Give it up before you start it 
Start to die 

Why, be a fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it grow 
Someone you don't really know 
A fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it show 
Someone you don't really know 

Old emotions, time has borrowed 
Tend to make you think you're right 
You're the one I'll always follow 
For all times 

Why be a fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it grow 
Someone you don't really know 
A fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it show 
Someone you don't really know 

And if you run away 
You can't escape from the price you pay, oh no 
And when you realize nobody else will care 
Where are the friends you made 
No one is left who can show the way, oh no 
And when the burden ends, I will heal you 
Time will turn you back to me 

A fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it grow 
Someone you don't really know 
A fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it show 
Someone you don't really know 

Oh a fool for a night 
You'd be a fool to fall for a night 
Gotta let it show 
Someone you don't really know
