Such a Fool

from Spend Your Youth by John Shakespear

/

lyrics

Share some cheap champagne
When you’re seventeen,
You know what I mean

Once the fuse is lit,
There’s no getting rid
The fire will be burning

You could kick me in the jaw
Hurt my ma and pa
And sell me to law, my baby

You could hit me where it hurts
Walk me to the church
And leave me on the altar,
My baby, you

I’m such a fool for you, there’s nothing I could do to change that

Living on your own
Happy where you are,
You told me in the car

Me I’m happy too
The world is such a thrill
Even when it bites you

You could suffocate my pride,
Take me for a ride,
I’d still be satisfied, my baby you

Could kill me for a loan,
Incinerate my home,
And auction off my bones
My baby, you

I’m such a fool for you, there’s nothing I can do
I’m such a fool for you, there’s nothing I can do

Now, the sun is coming out
The horn across the water makes the sweetest sound
I hope that I can meet you in some other town
Some other frame of mind
