Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If i’m a fool for loving you then that’s just what i want to be
They’re saying i am just your clown and any fool could see
That you’re just having fun and you’re not in love with me
The things they’re saying may be true, but there’s something they can’t see
If i’m a fool for loving you then that’s just what i want to beIf i’m a dreamer, let me dream. if i’m your clown i’ll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem, please don’t ever let me know
If i am blind it’s because i just don’t want to see
If i’m a fool for loving you then that’s just what i want to beIf i’m a dreamer, let me dream. if i’m your clown i’ll steal the show
If things are not the way they seem, please don’t ever let me know
If i am blind it’s because i just don’t want to see
If i’m a fool for loving you then that’s just what i want to be
If i’m a fool for loving you then that’s just what i want to be
If i’m a fool for loving you
