Jesse Winchester - Foolish Heart Lyrics

Oh, every time we go downtownThe boys watch you walk byYou don't see their eyesBut I bet you hear their sighsThe whole darn town's in love with youBut here's the funny partThat you love me, girlBless your foolish heartLook at the quarterbackAnd the mayor's sonAnd the smartest guy in schoolYou could have had the best and brightestAnd you chose the biggest foolOh, you may be too good for meBut you can't be too smartNot if you love me, girlBless your foolish heartI guess I'll have to learn to liveWith being Mr. YouBut what else can I do?Oh, I just hope it's true'Cause I've been doin' wrong so longI've made it a fine artSo if you love me, girlBless your foolish heartEven the wannabe societyWhy they're completely soldMr. Murphy dreams about youAnd he's ninety nine years oldOh, you may be too good for meBut you can't be too smartNot if you love me, girlBless your foolish heartYes, if you love me, girlBless your foolish heart
