lyrics

FOOLS LIKE ME

NEVER COUNT YOURSELF AWAY FROM DANGER
PUT YOURSELF BEHIND REALITY
COUNTING ON YOUR STARS
WILL TAKE YOU JUST SO FAR
BUT THEN AGAIN THERE’S LOTS OF
FOOLS AROUND LIKE ME

OH, I WALK DOWN INNER CITY BLOCKS
TURN YOUR HEAD SURE GOTTA WATCH THE WAY YOU WALK
WELL, I LIKE TO DIG THE SCENE
IT’S NO FUN STUCK INBETWEEN
GET ME HIGH MAN SCOOT ME ALONG
THAT’S MY NATURAL SPEED

CHORUS:
I DON’T HAVE WHAT YOU CALL A BOOK EDUCATION
I LEARNED MOST OF MY LESSONS AFTER SCHOOL
I HAVE WHAT YOU CALL A REAL LIFE PREPERATION
AND I TRY TO BE NOBODYS FOOL

WELL, I’D RATHER A LITTLE SENSE THAN A LOT OF WIGGLE
SOMETIMES I HIDE MY DOLLARS IN MY SHOES
I READ MY HOROSCOPE EVERY DAY
I LIKE MY WORK TO BE LIKE PLAY
AINT’ASKING FOR MUCH
JUST WANT THE WHOLE DAMN THING MY WAY

CHORUS
REPEAT 1ST VERSE
