Called you up on the telephone Friday night and you're not alone You're not alone Well that's fine for you What am I supposed to do Hang around and wait for you I'll wait for you Like so many times before Only a fool would let ya get away With the things you do And the things you say Only a fool Only a fool like me Growin' up's been hard for you I should know, growin' up with you I've been there too Me and you Spent a year in Hollywood Checked it out but it ain't no good
In Hollywood What did you expect to find Only a fool would let ya get away With the things you do And the things you say Only a fool Only a fool like me And hey, I don't believe Most of what I hear Sometimes I don't believe what I see But maybe if we try A little bit harder Time and circumstance Will conspire in our direction Only a fool would let ya get away With the things you do And the things you say Only a fool Only a fool like me
