"It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane" lyrics

Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss, I'll change your bore for my bliss

Let go of my hand, and it will slip on the sand
If you don't give me the chance
To break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothing of you
Not even your gratitude

And if you think I'm corny
Then it will not make me sorry
It's your right to laugh at me
And, in turn, that's my opportunity
To feel brave

'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane

Every morning, I would see her getting off the bus
The picture never drops, it's like a multicolored snapshot
Stuck in my brain, it kept me sane
For a couple of years, as it drenched my fears
Of becoming like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that
'Cause they've forgotten how to play
Or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed

'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane

To seem strange
To seem insane
To gain weight
To seem gay
I'll tell you this

It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane

'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane

A fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
