Through The Eyes Of A Fool

(Album: Saginaw, Michigan - 1964)

I'll keep looking through the eyes of a fool

If I see someone hold her tight
That's all right, they're just dancing
If they're together in the moonlight
They're just talking, not romancing
If I see her out with someone
It's just some old friend from school
That's how it looks through the eyes of a fool

If her phone rings and she whispers
I can talk now I don't care
A private matter and she'd better
Not discuss it with me there
If I see her smile at someone
That's not breaking any rule
That's how it looks through the eyes of a fool

They say that seeing is believing
Believe me, it's not true
You can teach your eyes to only see
The things you're wanting to
So I'd rather keep pretending
Like a little child in school
And now keep looking through the eyes of a fool

I'll keep looking through the eyes of a fool
