That was then This is now Take some time to come around All I want to do Is try again Show you how I know that it's all about Givin' attention to you I was a fool for way too long

Well I know, I know, I know History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find "To late," the prophets (profits) cry The island's sinking,

I know that you don't wanna hear this And don't be a fool 'Cause you'll find a man And will be there for you And wait on me darlin' But I'm always on the move And say that you love me Who will stand by your side And don't be a fool, yeah

I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear Don't you know you little fool, you never can win Use your mentality

And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms 'Cause baby I'm not fooling Why couldn't I have realized But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again 'Cause baby I'm not fooling around Don't be a fool Don't give your nights

Hold on, don't you say goodbye. I want you to tell me now before we lose forever. Girl, I don't want to lose you now. Times are hard, my spirit's weak, Ev'rything seems to be goin' wrong, the outlook's bleak. You know I fooled around, play'n' the field.

I'm on my way back home Take the hand Guide the way Find the truth Take your heart into your hand To tempt the fool into the mine Let loose the snake with antidote

Be the one, be the one I could be the one When you're gone I was wrong I see the moon I'm not a fool Oh, baby come on, let me get to know you Just another chance so that I can show That I won't let you down, oh no

And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide? To keep our hearts from breaking Every time two fools collide You want things your way And I want them mine And now we don't know Just where you draw the line How can love survive

Your love's coming down like It's coming Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain Till I feel your For the first time I can hear my heart sing Call me a fool but I know I'm not
