Folks say I'm naturally kind
I'd like to think that they're right
They say I'm kind but in their minds
They're really laughing at me

I'll lend a hand to any man
And if that's wrong then you can

Call me foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish am I
That's what they call me
Foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish am I

They say that I'm out of my mind
I let the world walk on me
Good friends of mine say that I'm blind
They take advantage of me

Is it a crime just to be kind?
And if that's wrong then you can

Call me foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish am I
That's what they call me
Foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish am I

Call me foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish am I
That's what they call me
Foolish, oh, foolish, so foolish, foolish am I

Everyone calls me foolish, foolish, foolish
So foolish am I
That's what they call me foolish, foolish
