What A Fool Believes
She came from somewhere back in his long ago, sentimental fools don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created, once in their lives
She musters a smile for a nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what she wanted to say
Only to realize, it never really was
She had a place in his life, he never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be is always better than nothing, and nothing at all
Is sending him somewhere back in his long ago (right back there alone)
Where he can still believe there's a place in his life
Somehow someday, she will return
She had a place in his life, he never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes (I know she's never goin' away), he sees
No wise man has the power (ain't nobody got it) to reason away
What seems (nobody's gonna turn me my back) to be (she's comin' back to me)
Is always better than nothing, and nothing at all
Is makin' a fool believe (you're a fool, you're such a fool), he sees
(You don't believe) no wise man has the power (to reason away), nobody got it
What seems (I don't believe she's goin' away) to be
(I believe she's comin' back, comin' back), nobody can take that
Whatever a fool believes (you're a fool, you're such a fool), he sees...
