Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't be a fool

Don't give your nights to someone else

While givin' days to those who really love you

Don't be a fool like me

And give your life to someone else

While fakin' love to those who really love you

[Verse 2]

Why couldn't I have realized

The gravity of tellin' lies

Whose weight now shows upon your faceless mound?

I know your heart now and before

But I won't do it anymore

Trust in me and fall in love again

[Verse 3]

Listen to these charms

Baby, I'm not foolin'

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 4]

Listen to these charms

'Cause, baby, I'm not foolin'

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 5]

Listen to these charms

'Cause, baby, I'm not foolin' around

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 6]

Why couldn't I have realized

The gravity of tears in eyes

Whose weight now shows upon your faceless smile?

I broke your heart now and before

But I won't do it anymore

Trust in me and fall in love again

[Verse 7]

Listen to these charms

'Cause, baby, I'm not foolin'

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 8]

Listen to these charms

'Cause, baby, I'm not foolin'

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 9]

Listen to these charms

'Cause, baby, I'm not foolin' around

And fall into these open arms of love

[Verse 10]

And fall into these open arms of love

And fall into these open arms of love
