Fooled, maybe I'm just being fooled

Maybe I'll be ridiculed, but I adore you

If I'm fooled, then it's heaven being fooled

For you taught a heart unschooled, to live just for you!



Those who act cautious and wise,

never have stars in their eyes

If I'm in a fool's paradise,

keep me there for I don't care

If I'm fooled, and my mind is overruled

Still my heart has not been fooled,

'cause I'll always love you!







Those who act cautious and wise,

never have stars in their eyes

If I'm in a fool's paradise,

keep me there for I don't care

If I'm fooled, and my mind is overruled

Still my heart has not been fooled,

'cause I'll always love you!
