Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so easy, but I can't do it
So risky, but I gotta chance it
So funny, there's nothing to laugh about
My money, that's all you wanna talk about
I can see what you want me to be
[Chorus]
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool
[Verse 2]
No beginning, there's no ending
There's no meaning in my pretending
Believe me, life goes on and on and
Forgive me when I ask you, where do I belong?
[PreChorus]
You say I
You can't do it
Can't
You can't do it
Set you free
You can go and set him free
From me, but that's not true
[Chorus]
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la
I can see what you want me to be
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la
Whoa, whoa, whoa, la-la
Whoa, whoa, woo
But that's not true
It's in the lap of the Gods
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Whoa, whoa, woo
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Whoa, whoa, woo
It's in the lap of the Gods
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Whoa, whoa, woo
But I'm no fool
It's in the lap of the Gods
Whoa, whoa, la-la-la, whoa
Whoa, whoa, la-la
Whoa, whoa, woo
