You Can't Hurt 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.
See how she enters
The room like a diva
If you said she was damaged
I wouldn't believe ya
Laughing and joking, a real superstar
Oh, you can't hurt a fool
Well, don't even try
Because genuine fools
Don't play by the rules
And she
Won't reconsider
Whoa, oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
The first thing betrays
A fool is her tongue
Slipping and tripping
And coming undone
But something is missing
Something ain't right
Oh, you can't hurt a fool
Well, don't even try
'Cause genuine fools
Don't play by the rules
And she
Won't reconsider
Whoa, oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
And a fool never gives it away
And a fool, don't believe what she'll say
A fool never puts a foot wrong
She's living her dream and singing her song
Look at her now, she's centre stage
Too old to know better
Too young for her age
Mixed up as a litter of dangerous breeds
Oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
Well, don't even try
'Cause genuine fools
Don't play by the rules
And she
Won't reconsider
Oh, oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
Whoa, oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
Whoa, oh, oh, you can't hurt a fool
