Just Fooling Myself
I tell myself that I’m a great poet,
and people will listen because I have something to say.
But now I’m starting to wonder am I just fooling myself.
When I speak is anyone really listening or am I just fooling myself.
Are my words as meaningful as Keats, Poe or Angelou or am I just fooling myself.
Well, no matter if no one is listening or remembers my name I will never stop writing poetry.
Because if I tell myself I can live without poetry then I truly will be Just fooling myself

Follin' Around
You're so beautiful, you just lay it on me
Foxy lady, you really are the greatest show in town
You want to play,
You wanna eat your cake and have it your way
You got it easy and you don't give a damn
Fooling around, you just keep fooling around with me.
Walking down the street, people watching closely
Such a tease, you can turn on any man you want
You masquerade,
You're the catch of the season every night and day
You, you, you don't have any time for me
You just keep fooling around with me.
Fooling around - everywhere I go you're the only,
Only, only sexy lady
Fooling around, all you do is keep me hanging around
You're really so hard to please
You've gotta really watch that, baby!
You just, you just, fooling around with me
You just, you just, fooling around with me
You keep fooling, you keep fooling
Fooling, fooling, fooling, fooling,
Fooling...
Want to play, but you always want it all your own way
You got it easy but you don't give a damn
Fooling around, you just keep fooling around with me.
You just keep fooling around with me, yeah
I'm a fool, fool, fool, fool for you baby,
Keep fooling around
I'm a fool, fool, fool, for you sexy baby,
Keep fooling around
I'm a fool, fool, fool, fool for you baby,
Keep fooling around

Re-Offender
Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again

I Wasnt Fooling Around
I wasnt fooling around
Everythings true that I said
So take me seriously
Darling, please just take me
I wasnt fooling around
Chorus:
Laugh if you want to
But I wasnt joking
About this love thats so real
Is it surprising
Im romanticizing
About the way I feel
I wasnt playing around
Im not a kid anymore
Im not the clown
Thats just here to amuse you
I wasnt fooling around
Chorus
I wasnt fooling around
It wasnt like that at all
So take me seriously
Darling, please just take me
I wasnt fooling around

This Could Be The One
Ive been alone since I dont know when, and I dont need another lover
I just dont know if I could follow again, its been gettin me down
And I never dreamt we could be, something happened and I cant walk away
How could I know Id get in too deep, Im not fooling around
Hey baby, Im scared of letting it out
Ooh, this could be the one
Ooh, this could be the one, Im not fooling around
Wherever I go, I think of you, I cant believe what I am feeling
And how could I know Id be losing sleep, Im not fooling around
Hey baby, we need time to figure this out
Ooh, this could be the one - the one that Ive been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one - and Im not fooling around
I worry if we get too close, you kick my heart around
If love is what you need the most, dont tear my feelings down
(solo)
Hey baby, Ive been hurt before, hey, hey baby, this time Ive got to be sure
Ooh, this could be the one - that Ive been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one - the one Ive been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one - this could be, this could be the one
Ooh, this could be the one - the one that Ive been waiting for...

Beware! (From The German)
I know a maiden fair to see,
Take care!
She can both false and friendly be,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
She has two eyes, so soft and brown,
Take care!
She gives a side-glance and looks down,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
And she has hair of a golden hue,
Take care!
And what she says, it is not true,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
She has a bosom as white as snow,
Take care!
She knows how much it is best to show,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
She gives thee a garland woven fair,
Take care!
It is a fool's-cap for thee to wear,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!

Star Song
You got your tongue pierced once,
and you say you've got another,
that you can't show anyone,
unless it's under covers,
but you're running around showing everyone your new tattoo.
You got an A in class,
and you hoped no one would notice,
you're the smartest kid in school,
and it makes you self-conscious,
and your loser boyfriend is smoking out in the boys room.
I wish someone would tell you,
you're a star the way you are,
you know you're not fooling anyone.
No, you've got the eyes of an angel,
don't try to change, yeah,
everybody's got their scars.
(everybody's got their scars)
No matter what they tell you,
you're beautiful the way you are.
I bet your mom was so happy,
you became a cheerleader,
home coming queen,
just like your older sister,
'till you dyed your hair pink
and they said what were you drinking,
and it never did sink in,
it don't matter what they think.
Cause you're a star the way you are,
you know you're not fooling anyone.
No, you've got the eyes of an angel,
don't try to change, yeah,
everybody's got their scars,
(everybody's got their scars)
never mind how ugly they are.
(never mind how ugly they are)
No matter what they tell you,
you're beautiful the way you are.
Oh the way you are,
(oh the way you are)
oh the way you are,
(oh the way you are)
oh the way you are,
yeah.
You're a star the way you are,
You know you're not fooling anyone.
No, you've got the eyes of an angel,
don't try to change, yeah,
everybody's got their scars.
(everybody's got their scars)
No matter what they tell you
you're beautiful you are.
You're a star the way you are,
no, you're not fooling anyone.
No, you've got the eyes of an angel,
don't try to change, yeah,
everybody's got their scars,
(everybody's got their scars)
never mind how ugly they are.
(never mind how ugly they are)

Third Eye
la la la la la la la la la la, mmmmmmm, you was fooling me
me once more, you aint fooling me twice no more
get your head on in place,
we are heading down to base,
you were there for me but not no more,
i was shocked at what i saw.
you were lying there crippled and haring,
turn your head and really stop swearing.
(chorus)
yeh yeh yeh yeh, i had one eye you had two,
but all of my friends didn't know what to do.
one of my friends had one glass eye
and one of my friends had a third eye.

Today?
There was a day.
It wasn`t this.
It seemed the be all of everything.
Today?
But it was yesterday.
Who was fooling who?
There was a moment,
It wasn`t this.
You had it all in your grasp.
The power was with you.
You seemed alive beyond
Dispute.
But that was then, this is now.
And who is fooling who?
Maybe it was
All just an illusion anyway.
There was a day,
They said it was today!

Fooling Yourself
Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man i can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

Coquette
(Green, Kahn, Lombardo)
Hear me, why you keep fooling, little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you?
Breaking hearts you are ruling, little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets, you know, my little coquette, I love you.
Mm, someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets, oo-oo,
now, you know, my little coquette, I love you.

This Is Me
This is Me By Randy Travis
Lately I get the feeling there's a feeling that your holding in
Why do you keep your distance as close as we've been
Do you think your silence is saying there aint nothin wrong with you
This is me your not talkin to
CHORUS
This is me
The one that knows you inside out
The one you've leaned on till now
Don't you know I'm still here for you
So what do you think your doing
Who do you think your fooling
This is me your not talking to
You can run to me no matter what your running from
If its something I am doing I will get it undone
Just dont let me be a stranger to what your going through
Hey this is me your not talking to
This is me
The one who knows you inside out
The one you've leaned on till now
Don't you know I'm still here for you
So what do you think your doing
Who do you think your fooling
This is me, your not talking to
Hey this is me.....you're not talking to

Born To Lose
Wonder if you belong, think youve got it down
Does it still feel the same, now that hes not around
Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.
Wonder how it all began, as if that mattered anyway
Theres someone else youre always wanting, every single day
Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round,
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.

You Belong To Me

Whyd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Dont you know Ill always be your girl
You dont have to prove to me youre beautiful to strangers
Ive got loving eyes of my own
(chorus)
You belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
You dont even know her
Tell her that I love you
You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that youre not sure
You belong to me
Thought wed closed the book - locked the door
You dont have to prove to me that youre beautiful to strangers
Ive got loving eyes of my own
And I can tell - I can tell darling
Tell her - tell her that I love you
You belong - you belong - you belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she dont even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Dont leave me to go to her now

Maybe I Leave My Eyes In The Skies Too Long
I can't have my feelings just be up for grabs.
To let somebody have!
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
I can't sit just wishing to kiss anybody glad.
To have that kissing had.
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Hoping that somebody for me comes along.
I can't have my feelings just be up for grabs.
To let somebody have!
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
I can't sit just wishing to kiss anybody glad.
To have that kissing had.
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Hoping that somebody for me comes along.
To make my heart go thumping,
After many months of nothing jumping.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Hoping that somebody for me comes along.
To make my heart go thumping,
After many months of nothing jumping.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
I can't sit just wishing to kiss anybody glad.
To have that kissing had.
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Hoping that somebody for me comes along.
I can't have my feelings just be up for grabs.
To let somebody have!
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.

All Or Nothing (Almighty Definitive Mix)
I've been standing out in the rain
I've been calling your name
Got that lonely feeling again
calling out your name
Do you hear me? Do you want me?
Baby it's all or nothing now
I don't wanna run and I cant walk out
you're breaking my heart if you leave me now
don't wanna wait for ever
Who do you think you're fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Baby it's all or nothing,
baby it's all or nothing now
I've been trying to get to your heart
but I'm chasing shadows
We keep falling further apart
so near and you're so far
Do you care now? Do you know how

Loves Me Like A Rock
Words & music by paul simon
When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy)
And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
Id say now who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (when I was just a boy)
Im a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy)
Im a singer in a sunday choir
Oh , my mama loves, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man)
And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man)
Id say now who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (grown to be a man)
Im a consummated man (grown to be a man)
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
She love me, love me, love me, love me
And if I was president (was the president)
The minute congress call my name (was the president)
Id say who do,
Who do you think youre fooling? (who do you think youre fooling)
Ive got the presidential seal (was the president)
Im up on the presidential podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me
Fade out:
She love me, love me, love me, love me
