Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Foolin'

I see no reason why

Only that I guess that I

Don’t really know what I’m doing

A letter that never arrived

Only that I could survive

That I might see whatever is going on

You took my heart away

Like an act in a play

But I was just another standby

In your soap opera

And now I fear that I

Can’t change to compromise

You had me all along

And you were foolin’

This love could never doubt

I just wanna sit and pout

I’m feeling as if you’re leaving me out

Just what am I talking about

Turning away from the cow

As if your golden () led me to a shallow grave

You took my heart away

Like an act in a play

But I was just another standby

In your soap opera

And now I feel that I

Can’t change to compromise

You had me all along

And you were foolin’

And now I dare to say

It wouldn’t happen anyway

Just a love to carry me through back to you

They say that love is blind

But I can see you all the time

Whether or not you think of me in your mind

You took my heart away

Like an act in a play

I was just another standby

In your soap opera

And now I fear that I

Can’t change to compromise

You had me all along

And you were foolin’

And when I lay me down

To go to sleep

I can’t find you anywhere in my dream

And now I venture out

Just another night on the town

It brings me down to feel so happy

You took my heart away

Like an act in a play

I was just another standby

In your soap opera

And now I fear that I

Can’t change to compromise

You had me all along

And you were foolin’

Foolin’, foolin, foolin’, foolin’

Foolin’, foolin’, foolin’
