Foolish Boy

He thought her affection
Could be bought with cheap confection
She took grave exception
Which comes as no surprise
And that foolish boy went home without his pride
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"My bruised heart is sore!''
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"I can't see her anymore.."
Now he made the suggestion
That hers was no rejection
She was leading him up the garden path
And if that's all she was after
Then she was flipping daft
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"My bruised heart is sore!''
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"I can't see her anymore.."
This foolish boy may never understand
I'm sad to say he passes for a man
This foolish child was fed on wicked lies
I'm sad to say he thought she'd take a bribe
(You foolish boy) do-do-do-do-do-do
"My bruised heart is sore!''
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"I can't see her anymore.."
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"My pride is hurt for sure!''
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"I can't see her anymore.."
Anymore (repeat)
You foolish boy do-do-do-do-do-do
"I can't see her anymore.."

If I should die where would I go to
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
When I lie down here beside you
It’s just so that we can be together
If I should die where would I go to
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
When I lie down here beside you
It’s just so we can be together
(Be together)
If I should die where would I go to
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
When I lie down here beside you
It’s just so we can be together
(Be together)
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
One precious day I’m hoping that
We learn to love each other
I’m gonna cry my eyes out if I want to
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
While I stand I grab with both hands
Get my share of earthly pleasure
(Earthly pleasure)
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
One precious day I’m hoping that
We learn to love each other
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
(A heaven..)
repeat

I’m not looking for a garden of Eden
No heavenly book can tell me where
I’m looking for a world beyond good and evil
Maybe your trail can lead me there
Baby Fire! Baby Fire..
Baby Fire! Oh Baby Fire..
I’m not looking for a rose or cactus flower
No poisonous slate or unearthly stone
I’m looking for a place beyond the blue further
Maybe your face can tell me where
Baby Fire! Baby Fire..
Baby Fire! Baby Fire..
I’m not looking for an empty vessel
I’ll sink my ship before I go
I’m not thinking I’ll be glad when it’s over
No heavenly book can tell me so
Baby Fire! Baby Fire..
Baby Fire! Baby Fire..
Baby Fire! Oh Baby Fire..
Baby Fire! Baby Fire!
