What a Fool Believes

She came from somewhere back in his long ago

(Sentimental fools don't see)

Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created

Once in her life

She musters a smile

For a nostalgic tale

Never coming near what she wanted to say

Only to realize

It never really was

(She had a place in his life) Oh

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

What a fool believes he sees?

No wise man has the power to reason away

(What seems to be) Is always better than nothing

And nothing at all

Keeps sending him

Somewhere back in his long ago (Right back there alone)

Where he can still believe there's a place in his life

(Somehow, someday) She will return

(She) Had a place in his life

(He) He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watching her go

What a fool believes he sees?

(I know she's never going away)

No wise man has the power to reason away

(Ain't nobody got it)

What seems to be

(Nobody's gonna tell me, now, baby)

(Ain't nothin' knocking me)

Is always better than nothing

Nothing at all

He's making a fool believe he sees

(You're a fool, you're such a fool)

(Don't believe, no wise man has the power)

No wise man has the power (To reason away)

Nobody got it

What seems to be

(I know he thinks she's going away)

(Now he thinks she's coming back, coming back)

Nobody can change it

Whatever a fool believes he sees

(You're a fool, you're such a fool)

(You don't believe no wise man has the power)
