"What A Fool Believes" lyrics
(originally by The Doobie Brothers)
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he 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
What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Nothing at all
Keep sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
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
What a fool believes, he sees
This wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Nothing at all
What a fool believes, he sees
This wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he 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
What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Nothing at all
Keep sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
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
What a fool believes, he sees
This wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Nothing at all
What a fool believes, he sees
This wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
