Called you up on the telephone 
Friday night and you're not alone 
You're not alone 
Well that's fine for you 
What am I supposed to do 
Hang around and wait for you 
I'll wait for you 
Like so many times before

Only a fool would let ya get away 
With the things you do 
And the things you say 
Only a fool 
Only a fool like me

Growin' up's been hard for you 
I should know, growin' up with you 
I've been there too
Me and you 
Spent a year in Hollywood 
Checked it out but it ain't no good 
In Hollywood 
What did you expect to find

Only a fool would let ya get away 
With the things you do 
And the things you say 
Only a fool 
Only a fool like me

And hey, I don't believe 
Most of what I hear 
Sometimes I don't believe what I see 
But maybe if we try 
A little bit harder 
Time and circumstance 
Will conspire in our direction

Only a fool would let ya get away 
With the things you do 
And the things you say 
Only a fool 
Only a fool like me
