If you're lucky enough To have someone who loves you Then be glad that you've got Someone who loves you 'Cause your lips that were warm Can grow cool So listen to the wisdom of a fool When you take her poor heart And you do something to it And you think to yourself Oh, why did I do it You may find that the world may be cruel So listen to the wisdom of a fool Now I had a love just the same as you And I was a fool not to see But you still have time to say you love her I'm afraid it's too late for me Go on back to the arms That you know will be waiting Hold her close in your arms And be glad that she's waiting You'll be happy, believe me If you'll only listen to the wisdom of a fool Just listen to the wisdom of a fool
