Behind The Fool

Don't tell her that you want her

Don't ask her to be yours

Don't tell her she is everythingOr she might see the fool behind the frown

And then the heart behind the foolDon't tell her that you need her

Don't tell her that you care

Don't ask her to hold youOr she might see the fool behind the frown

And then the heart behind the foolBehind the cool, there's a dreading that

Someday she'll betray you

Someday she will dispose of

All her photographs of youSo don't tell her when you're lonely

Don't tell her when you're blue

Don't tell her she means everything to youSo don't tell her that you need her

Don't tell her that you care

Don't ask her to hold youOr she might see the fool behind the frown

And then the heart behind the fool
