Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fools
Knockin' on my door
Callin' out my name
Tellin' me to change my ways, well, I know
[Verse 2]
Two hands in the fire
Won't put out the flame
Yeah, I got your number
I know your game
[Verse 3]
So why should I
Lay it on the line?
Everybody's got a vision
Everybody's got a plan
[Verse 4]
You tell me lies
You look me in the eyes
Honey, I would rather stand out
In the rain
[Verse 5]
Fools
Lyin' in my bed
Laughin' in my head
Tellin' me my dream's gone cold, well, I know
[Verse 6]
One city of angels
It ain't gon' put out my flame
Ohh, my love is a fire
No one can tame
[Verse 7]
So why should I
Lay it on the line?
Everybody's got a vision
Everybody's got a plan
[Verse 8]
You tell me lies
You look me in the eyes
Honey, I would rather stand out
In the rain
[Verse 9]
Why should I
Lay it on the line?
Well, everybody's got a vision
Everybody's got a plan
[Verse 10]
You tell me lies
You look me in the eyes
Honey, I would rather stand out
In the rain
[Verse 11]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, everybody's got a vision
Everybody's got a plan
[Verse 12]
You tell me lies
You look me in the eyes
Oh, honey, I would rather stand out
In the rain
