if i was a fool
what would i do
fall in love with you
or stay in love with you

if i was a fool
what would i do?
love you or love you not?

if i was a fool,
i'd write a poem
about lovin' you

if i was a fool
i'd fall in love with you.

if i was a fool
i'd be a poet
guess ya'd never know it
by the way i write

but, if i was a fool
i'd be a poet
i'd show it
in the words i say
in what the words i write
if i was a fool
i'd fall in love with you
if i was a poet
i'd showit'
in tellin' you i care
i love
what else would a fool do
what can a poet do
say i love you
in poetry that don't rhyme
a fool
who's lost time

a poet
who lost
his heart
this time
