What a Fool Believes Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

What a fool believes, he sees

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don′t see
Trying 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
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

What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power, oh yeah, to reason away
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
Where he can still believe there′s a place in her life, hey
Someday, somewhere
She will return

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, oh yeah

What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
No, no, no, no, nothing at all (nothing at all)

What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power (no wise man has the power) to reason away
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away


Yeah, yeah
What a fool believes he sees
Ooh, hold me babe
Hold me, babe
