Buster Poindexter
To make you laugh I'd be a fool for you,
Although the people turn and stare.
I'd do everything to keep you girl
It breaks my heart when you're not there.
I'll stage a ballet on a table top,
Though I ain't got no tune my show won't flop,
Cause I'll find the music in your eye.
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby.
Oh me oh my, I get crazy, I get crazy crazy
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby
Just let your love light shine on me.
We'll blow a genie from a cigarette,
We'll take a magic carpet ride,
We'll tell our smoky friends now don't forget
You must keep us side by side,
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby.
Oh me oh my, I get crazy, I get crazy crazy
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby Just let your love light shine on me.
I'd do everything to keep you girl
It breaks my heart when you're not there.
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby.
Oh me oh my, I get crazy, I get crazy crazy
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby
Just let your love light shine on me.
Listen to me honey
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby.
Oh me oh my, I get crazy, I get crazy crazy
Oh me oh my I'm a fool for you baby
Just let your love light shine on me.
