Kickin' down the road Feelin' mighty slowed With the likes of you Gettin' mighty spaced Never had a taste Of what you're goin' through I can't bitch Went from rags to riches Then to ragtime screamin' the blues I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Try to make a fool outta of me I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Gotta make a fool Gotta make a fool Try to make a fool outta of me Swing low Sweet cherry o When a strange love showed me the way Ya see more Can't keep a score When the whore's comin' on for the play I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Gotta make a fool outta of me I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Gotta make a fool Gotta make a fool Try to make a fool outta of me E. Poe Eatin' crow Wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad Time passed And words lost the last Of the best thing he ever had I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Gotta make a fool outta of me I wanna know why Everybody's good intentions Gotta make a fool Gotta make a fool Try to make a fool outta of me Oh play rough Can't get enough So they try to make a fool out of me, lordy Ain't foolin' me Ya ain't ghoulin' me Ain't foolin' me Ya ain't ghoulin' me
