I will be a fool tonight

It is guaranteed at first sight

I will fall all over myself:

To be in your' light,

To be the one by your side

A given I will watch you all night:

And envy those

Who catch your eye,

Burn within

Because I am not your type

Reality that I will push all aside

In hopes that you will give me a try

Distance myself from those

Who think of me

As I do you

One hopes I won't be a fool for life
