Gilbert Montagné - The Fool lyrics

No, no don't let me play the fool I can't really love you by the rules For my love is sweet and free No, no don't let me play the fool For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel Can't you see it isn't me What you ask of me is just to be your clown Someone you can lead about and show around Why make of our love a children's puppet show Can't I simply love you in the way I know What I ask of you is not to turn away Listen to the words that I'm trying to say Our love could be a new adventure every day Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you No, no don't let me play the fool I can't really love you by the rules For my love is sweet and free No, no don't make me play the fool For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel Can't you see it isn't me All I want from you is a little sympathy Try to understand what it would be for me All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied Any hope of freedom would have surely died I want to know that I can fall in love again And be sure that my love will never not restrain So please just let me love you in the way I know Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you No, no don't let me play the fool I can't really love you by the rules For my love is sweet and free No, no don't make me play the fool For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel Can't you see it isn't me
