Fool’s Paradise Songtext
von Sam Cooke

I often think off the life I′ve led
And oh, it's a wonder, I ain′t dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

My mother told me and my father told me too
Said my child, it'll all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool′s paradise


Though I′ve learned my lesson
Like all fools I've met
Oh, I′ve learned things in this life
That I haven't forgotten yet

My father told me, mother said it right
Said my son, you′re ruining your life
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

Oh yeah, living in a fool′s paradise
