Foolish Heart Lyrics

Jesse Winchester Foolish Heart

Oh, every time we go downtown
The boys watch you walk by
You don't see their eyes
But I bet you hear their sighs

The whole darn town's in love with you
But here's the funny part
That you love me, girl
Bless your foolish heart

Look at the quarterback
And the mayor's son
And the smartest guy in school
You could have had the best and brightest
And you chose the biggest fool

Oh, you may be too good for me
But you can't be too smart
Not if you love me, girl
Bless your foolish heart

I guess I'll have to learn to live
With being Mr. You
But what else can I do?
Oh, I just hope it's true

'Cause I've been doin' wrong so long
I've made it a fine art
So if you love me, girl
Bless your foolish heart

Even the wannabe society
Why they're completely sold
Mr. Murphy dreams about you
And he's ninety nine years old

Oh, you may be too good for me
But you can't be too smart
Not if you love me, girl
Bless your foolish heart
Yes, if you love me, girl
Bless your foolish heart
