I'm Only Foolin' Myself

(album: White Boy - 1986)

Woo-hoo...

I don't trust my memory anymore
Can't tell if things are better than they were before
But this heart of mine is ready to believe
The long lost lover comes back home
And the life long friend can't stand being alone

Until the morning comes and you have to leave
Than I see you on the street
Holding on to someone else who even looks like me
It seems like

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
It can be dangerous if I lose control

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
Everybody knows fooling yourself
Can be dangerous when you lose control

Then you've only got yourself to blame (woo-hoo)
Well, when you asked if I could take you in
It was harder than it should have been
Cause you were always such good company

And last night you wanted me to stay
But this morning you just slipped away
Without saying goodbye
Maybe you were just a dream, ooh

Well I'm easy when it comes to being kind
And sure I need a little bit of love on the side
But when the truth begins to hurt
It gets too hard to hide

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
Can be dangerous if I lose myself

I know I'm fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
(He-he-he-he-he)
It can be dangerous, (ooh-ooh-ooh), very dangerous
Yeah (oh-oh, woah)

Listen
If I use sleight of hand
To make you reappear
Still I can't be sure
What is and isn't there

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games, (yeah), with my heart and soul
(I'm only) Everybody knows fooling yourself
Can be dangerous if you lose control

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
Yeah

I'm only fooling myself (I'm fooling myself)
(Fooling myself)
With my heart and soul (with my heart and soul)
(Ooh)
It can be dangerous, (dangerous), if I lose control
(Ooh)
