Heading Down Fools Road
Carol Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heading, heading
Heading down fools road
Heading, heading
Heading down fools road

People say that you're no good for me, no
They tell me there's no one blinder than a woman who just won't see
But let them talk you know that I don't care
Cause when I'm in your arms it's like flying through the air

Now I'm heading, heading
Down a fools road
Yes I'm heading, heading
Down a fools road

They say there's no way I can keep from getting hurt
My feelings have no importance to you cause you're just a flirt
I'll ignore that and take the smooth with the rough
Cause even if I'm a fool you're love is sweet enough

Oooh I'm heading, heading
Down a fools road
Heading, heading
Down a fools road

Heading, Yes I'm heading
Down a fools road
Heading, Yes I'm heading
Down a fools road

So the road to your love is the direction I'm gonna take
I'll ignore the danger signs that point towards heartbreak
Without you heere my very soul will ache
The fools road has to be the path I'm gonna take

I'm heading, heading
Down a fools road
Yes I'm heading, heading, heading
Down a fools road

Baby I though I had a man to stand by my side
Here I am all alone I'm just about to cry




I'm heading, heading, heading
Down a fools road
