Fooling Yourself

JS 99

Take advice from this stranger,

Grab a pen and write this down.

When it seems your heart's in danger,

Open up and look around.

Was it you that was suppose to change her?

Where you choosen from the start?

Or did you win a popularity vote?

Yeah did you really win her heart?

When it's love that's all around you,

And you feel you must confide.

To the world, the world has given you.

And you feel you must take sides.

Well that's ok, yeah that's alright,

You see 'cause I've been there once myself.

And do you really think she loves you?

You know you really ought to help yourself.

chorus1:

('Cause she's) Fooling you, while you're fooling yourself.

harmony: Fooling you--Fooling yourself--

(And you're) Thinking of her, while she's thinking of someone else.

(She's) Fooling you, while you're fooling yourself.

harmony: Fooling you--Fooling yourself--

(And you're) Trying to love her when she's in love with someone else.

(Yeah you're) Fooling yourself, fooling yourself, oh.

Well the world it keeps on changing,

And in time your view will too.

About the people and their faces,

And the way they all use you.

It's nothing condescending,

Just listen and I'll explain.

Do you really think she loves you?

You know you really ought to look again.

chorus1

Well you didn't listen to me,

Until you found her out with him.

It's a tale as old as time,

Wondering now where to begin?

Well my friend that's where I stop,

Hope you really mend your heart.

But before you find another love,

Take my advice from the start.

chorus2:

(She could be) Fooling you, while you're fooling yourself.

harmony: Fooling you--Fooling yourself--

(While you're) Thinking of her, and she's thinking of someone else.

(She could be) Fooling you, while you're fooling yourself.

harmony: Fooling you--Fooling yourself--

(And you'll be) In love with her, when she's in love with someone else.
