Foolin' Lyrics

Daniel Johnston Foolin'

I see no reason why
Only that I guess that I
Don’t really know what I’m doing
A letter that never arrived
Only that I could survive
That I might see whatever is going on

You took my heart away
Like an act in a play
But I was just another standby
In your soap opera
And now I fear that I
Can’t change to compromise
You had me all along
And you were foolin’

This love could never doubt
I just wanna sit and pout
I’m feeling as if you’re leaving me out
Just what am I talking about
Turning away from the cow
As if your golden () led me to a shallow grave

You took my heart away
Like an act in a play
But I was just another standby
In your soap opera
And now I feel that I
Can’t change to compromise
You had me all along
And you were foolin’

And now I dare to say
It wouldn’t happen anyway
Just a love to carry me through back to you
They say that love is blind
But I can see you all the time
Whether or not you think of me in your mind

You took my heart away
Like an act in a play
I was just another standby
In your soap opera
And now I fear that I
Can’t change to compromise
You had me all along
And you were foolin’

And when I lay me down
To go to sleep
I can’t find you anywhere in my dream
And now I venture out
Just another night on the town
It brings me down to feel so happy

You took my heart away
Like an act in a play
I was just another standby
In your soap opera
And now I fear that I
Can’t change to compromise
You had me all along
And you were foolin’
Foolin’, foolin, foolin’, foolin’
Foolin’, foolin’, foolin’
