what a fool believes

Singer:aretha franklin

he came from somewhere back in her long ago

the sentimental fools don't see tryin' hard

to recreate what had yet to be created once in her life

she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

never coming near what he wanted to say

hey

only to realize

it never really was

he had a place in her life

she never made him think twice

as he rises to her apology

anybody else would surely know

he's watching her go

and what a fool believes

he sees

no wise man has the power

oh yeah

to reason away

now

what seems to be

is always better than nothing

oh yeah

nothing at all

nothing at all

keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago

he can still believe there's a place in her life

hey

someday

somewhere

she will return

he had a place in her life

oh oh

she never made him think twice

as he rises to her apology

anybody else would surely know

he's watching her go

oh yeah

what a fool believes

he sees

no wise man has the power

oh yeah

to reason away

yeah

and what seems to be

is always better than nothing

oh oh oh oh oh yeah

nothing at all

nothing at all

oh

get down

no wise man has the power

to reason away

what a fool believes

no wise man has the power
