lyrics

FOOLISH ANYWAY

The way you said goodbye to me just keeps on coming back.
It’s like a movie I hate but it never fades to black.
And the credits never roll, and it’s got a filthy plot.
And I still peek through my fingers at the really nasty shots.

I’d wake up screaming. But this ain’t no dream.
And I can hear your voice saying to me, baby…

I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
What a lonely thing to say.
I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
Girl, you’re foolish anyway.

And you believe anything your girlfriends say.
And even if I wasn’t lying you’d hate me anyway.
I think you need a couple of courses in tough talk.
Maybe to the untrained tongue, you’re from a school of hard knocks.

I’d wake up laughing. But this ain’t no fun.
And I can hear your voice saying to me, baby…

I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
What a lovely thing to say.
I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
Girl, you’re foolish anyway.

Used to be the silent treatment. Used to be a gap before.
I always want to say something, but I’m afraid that I’m a bore.
Well you can glare right at me till you’re black and blue in your face.
But I can hear your voice saying to me, baby…

I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
What a lovely thing to say.
I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
Girl, you’re foolish anyway.

I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
What a lovely thing to say.
I’d be a fool if I don’t leave you.
Girl, you’re foolish anyway.
