Lyrics

I Must Have Been a Fool

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can tell by the look in your eyes

there's no deceivin, there's no disguise

what you need is a what you want

you hide behind what you put up front

So we find ourselves together

I'm the only one to blame

what I thought would last forever

just another part of your game

I must have been a fool

I must have broke some rule

Now I'm losing you to the wind

So I'm all alone with my yesterday, once again

I'm back to the bottom line

Sometimes love can make or break you

can build you up or shake you down

if it's real you don't need to fake it

if it's not no need to hang around

If you're with me for a reason

the time has come to let me know

'coz it seems your heart is freezin'

but you still don't wanna let me go

bridge:

And you say (so you say) no more rainy days

go your way (go your way) and you send me mine

Too much too soon, was I too out of tune

with your plans

too much too soon, too out of tune

with your plans

chorus
