What Are You Doing With A Fool Like Me
Joe Cocker Lyrics

Sometimes I watch you
Occasionally, I observe you

As you're sleeping
During the time when you are asleep

And I can't believe
And it's hard for me to comprehend

You're really here with me
That you are actually present with me

I've got to pinch myself
I need to use a physical sensation to check

To make sure that I'm not dreaming
To confirm that I'm not in a state of imaginary perceptions

Oh, something this good
Oh, something of such excellent quality

How could it happen to me
How is it that I am experiencing it

I've never been the kind
I've never been a person who belongs to the category

That's lucky before
That has had favorable events in the past

But my life changed when
However, my fortune changed after

You walked through my door
You entered my residence

Now I'm more lucky than
Currently, I am more fortunate than

I ever dreamed I would be
I had never imagined I could be

What are you doing with a fool like me
Why are you involved with someone like me who lacks intelligence and judgment

You could've found someone better
You could have discovered someone who is more excellent

Who's a better one than me
Someone who surpasses my abilities and qualities

Could've had anybody, I just don't see
You had the opportunity to select anyone, I just don't comprehend

What are you doing, what are you doing
Why are you remaining, why are you continuing

With a fool like me
With someone who is foolish like me

I know loving me ain't easy
I am aware that it's difficult to have affection towards me

Seems like I never say
It appears that I never express

The things I ought to say
The things that I should communicate

It's like I'm never there
It's as if I'm never present

Girl, when you need me
My dear, when you require my assistance

Sometimes you turn to me
At times, you rely on me

And I just turn away
Yet, I choose to avoid providing help

I'm just a dreamer
I am only someone who has imaginative vision

With my head in the clouds
Whose thoughts are frequently unrealistic

You should walk away
You ought to depart from this relationship

But still you stay around
However, you are persistently present

I gave you rain
I provided you something beneficial

But rainbows all you see
However, you continuously notice only the positive aspect

Stand by me through
Support me during

All the ups and downs
Both favorable and unfavorable situations

I'll never know
I will never find out

You could've had anybody
You could have formed a relationship with anyone

Yeah, yeah
Yes, yes

A fool like me
Someone who is unwise like me

(What are you doing)
(Why are you involved)

What you doing, baby
What actions are you taking, my love
