I'm a fool but I love you so With a love that burned into my very soul Don't take my heart Don't break my heart The painted fool I'm your harlequin I'm the court, jester with the silly grin Don't take my heart Don't break my heart You fire my engine and you get me high Then you cut my lifeline and you leave me dry Don't take my heart Don't break my heart You sail your ship to the city streets And you fall in love and flirt with everybody that you meet'a Don't take my heart Don't break my heart Let the fool, live Let the fool, live Let the fool, live Let the fool Let the fool Let that fool.... live Let him live In a gun shop bloody on a midnight flight In your tower block in the still of the night Don't take my heart Don't break my heart A lie upon lie A lie upon you In the midnight city See the sun come through Don't take my heart Don't break my heart Let the fool, live Let the fool live [let him live] Let the fool, live Let the fool Let the fool, live
