Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
How was I to know that this was always only just a little game to you? All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would do the same for you, Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away, When the words you say are, Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love? If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn't right to care, Logic doesn't seem to mind that I am fascinated by the love affair, Still my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time, but never mind, Cause baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it's not for vanity, Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity, Even when my heart is beating hurry up the moment?s fleeting, Kiss me now, Don't ask me home Cause baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall, Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall, And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in love.
