The Fool Wouldn't Listen

I told him that it wasn't necessary

To constantly impress the ? poor me

I told him I was proud to be his woman

And just his love was all I'd ever need

But the fool wouldn't listen

Then simple things became a constant struggle

His humble heart would make his ego strong

He thought the finer things would make me happy

I pulled him close and told him he was wrong

But the fool wouldn't listen

He just kept right on searching for the treasures we had found

He just kept digging in the dirt in search of solid ground

He just kept running through the forest, looking for the trees

He left me here at home in hopes he'd find his way to me

I told him when the frowns of life grew heavy

The burdened one would seek a smiling face

I told him when the nights grew long and lonely

A heart left cold would find a warm embrace

But the fool wouldn't listen

He just kept right on searching for the treasures we had found

He just kept digging in the dirt in search of solid ground

He just kept running through the forest, looking for the trees

He left me here at home in hopes he'd find his way to me

I told him that my love for him was dying

But the fool wouldn't listen

No, the fool wouldn't listen
