My words are falling short over coffee
An interested mind with nothing to say
I wish I could read your mind
Won't somebody tell me what to say?
People don't see me as a threat but only if they knew
Nothing's bothered me this week but you
I hope that we speak again soon
Maybe next time I'll know what to do
I'm a fool for you
But you'd never feel that to be true
I'm a fool for you
A child-like face so beautiful
I wish I could read what's on your mind
Cause even, The Jester, Gets his day.
I don't know a thing about you I don't know anything at all
I fear rejection from a soul like yours
I wish you would tell me your life
Cause love in a glance is for fools
I'm a fool for you
But you'd never feel that to be true
I'm a fool for you
I wish I could read what's on your mind
I'm a fool for you, Yeah,
But you'd never feel that to be true
I'm a fool for you
Cause even, The Jester, Gets his day.
