Father John Misty

Only A Fool

Only A Fool

(album: Chloë And The Next 20th Century - 2022)

I was a fool to begin with
Long before this dance began
Oh, there's no mistaking
What you're saying with that moony glance

Only a fool
Would understand

I was fool when I met you
And oh, I bet you knew it too
How else could we stay standin'?
All those nights dream-landing, ooh

Only a fool
Would understand

The wisdom of the ages
From the Gita to Abraham
Was written by smitten, lonely sages
Too wise to ever take a chance

Life could be cruel
Now and then
But I couldn't fathom way back when
How I'd long to have you break my heart
Time and again

Only a fool
Would understand

Only a fool
Would understand
