new fool at an old game

you sure know what you're doin'

holdin' me this way

and i'll go where you lead me

anywhere you say

you've got me where you want me

so darlin' please be kind

before you take it all

and i make that final fall

you've got to keep in mind

i'm a new fool at an old game

a kid out of school tryin' to find my way

but i don't know the rules

teach me how to play

i'm just a new fool at an old game

well maybe i'm a dreamer

or maybe i'm naive

but when you say you love me

i start to believe

that coal can turn to diamonds

and this night will never end

but if it isn't so and i cry when you go

you've got to understand

i'm a new fool at an old game

a kid out of school tryin' to find my way

but i don't know the rules

teach me how to play

i'm just a new fool at an old game
