Lyrics:
Oh, if only, oh
When I was young, I believed every word that you said, dear
A fool was I
And though I'm much older, I still believe every word that you say dear
A fool am I
I'm just a fool

I tried to play is off so terribly cool
But everybody knows
I'm simply mad about you
Can't live without you
I'm mad about you

When we were young you agreed we were more than just foul, dear
A fool was I
And though we must surely still agree that we're more than just foul, dear
A fool am I
I'm just a fool

I tried to play is off so terribly cool
But everybody knows
I'm simply mad about you
Can't live without you
I'm mad about you

And I would let you go
If I could let you go
But I can't let you go
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
