Called you up on the telephone 

Friday night and you're not alone 

You're not alone 

Well that's fine for you 

What am I supposed to do 

Hang around and wait for you 

I'll wait for you 

Like so many times before

   

 Only a fool would let ya get away 

With the things you do 

And the things you say 

Only a fool 

Only a fool like me

  

Growin' up's been hard for you 

I should know, growin' up with you 

I've been there too

Me and you 

Spent a year in Hollywood 

Checked it out but it ain't no good 

In Hollywood 

What did you expect to find

  

Only a fool would let ya get away 

With the things you do 

And the things you say 

Only a fool 

Only a fool like me

  

And hey, I don't believe 

Most of what I hear 

Sometimes I don't believe what I see 

But maybe if we try 

A little bit harder 

Time and circumstance 

Will conspire in our direction



Only a fool would let ya get away 

With the things you do 

And the things you say 

Only a fool 

Only a fool like me ...
