Lyrics of What A Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers
verse
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was
pre-chorus
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watchin' her go
chorus
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
verse
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
pre-chorus
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watchin' her go
chorus
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be (if love can come and love can go)
(Then why can't love be so much more?) Is always better than nothing
(Who's got the power?) And nothing at all
(Oh my)
chorus
What a fool believes he sees (he believes he's never gone away)
No wise man has the power
To reason away (to reason away)
(Oh, if love can come and love can go) What seems to be
(Oh my love) Is always better than nothing
outro
(Better than nothing)
Nothing at all
(Oh my love)
Writer(s): Kenneth Clark Loggins, Michael H. Mcdonald
