The Fool

No, no don't let me play the fool,
 I can't really love you by the rules
 For my love is sweet and free
 No, no don't let me play the fool,
 Fot this thing you ask oh! it's so cruel,
 Can't you see it isn't me.
 What you ask of me is just to be your clown,
 Someone you can lead about and show around,
 Why make of our love a children's puppet show
 Can't I simply love you in the way I know,
 What I ask of you is not to turn away,
 Listen to the words that i'm trying to say,
 Our love could be a new adventure ev'ry day,
 Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
 No, no don't let me play the fool,
 I can't really love you by the rules
 For my love is sweet and free
 No, no don't make me play the fool,
 Fot this thing you ask oh! it's so cruel,
 Can't you see it isn't me.
 All I want from you is a little sympathy
 Try to understand what it would be for me
 All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
 Any hope of freedom would have surely died,
 I want to know that I can fall in love again
 And be sure that my love will never not restrain
 So please just let me love you in the way I know,
 Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
 No, no don't let me play the fool,
 I can't really love you by the rules
 For my love is sweet and free
 No, no don't make me play the fool,
 Fot this thing you ask oh! it's so cruel,
 Can't you see it isn't me...
