A Fool In Love
Jeff St. John Lyrics
You made an art out of love 'em and leave 'em
So don't you call me without any reason
It took a long time but I've learned the meanin'
I'm a fool in love, a fool in love
You traded lies and deceit for devotion
And now a fool tries to live with emotion
I get a longin' as big as the ocean
I'm a fool in love, a fool in love
Oh, I don't know why she, has a hold on me. have you seen a fool in love
Oh I don't know what to do, I'm gonna cry over
I'm just a fool, a fool in love, another fool, oh another fool in love
Yeah, somebody's fool, somebody's fool in love
I've learned a lot only heartache can teach me
Your kinda love shouldn't ever have reached me
I won't be here if you're wantin' to see me
Not a fool in love, a fool in love
Getting over you, it's hard to do, look at me a fool in love
I'm gonna search for somebody new, instead of cryin' over you
I see the sunrise without any sorrow
A lot of good times I won't have to borrow
Because there ain't nothin' like a tomorrow
For a fool in love, a fool in love
Now I'm movin' on, all the pain is gone, I won't be a fool in love
Oh, Babe, I've got no time to feel blue or to cry over you
Not a fool, I'm not a fool, won't be a fool, a fool in love
Fool in love

One of the greatest singers of Oz of all time! Love this track. If, and it will, be re-done, it could never match such an amazing voice!

I remember this clip I was about 10 at the time and even then thinking "wow what a voice ". Refined musical taste even at a young age. Kids are now glued to their phone with their brain turning to jelly.
