Lyrics
Foolish
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.
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
