Sometimes I bring you roses:
Well, baby that’s just my style.
And I like to say a few sweet things,
Just to prove that I can make you smile.
When there’s a love song in the air,
I might hum a little harmony.
But don’t get your hopes up...
You’ll never make a fool of me.
Your eyes sparkle like diamonds,
But there’s lots of pretty girls in town.
And you see every twist of the story,
But there’s clever women all around.
I like the way your words come together
Like a classic melody.
But don’t get your hopes up...
You’ll never make a fool of me.
You’ll never catch me making promises
On a moonlight rendezvous.
You’ll never see me sitting by the wishing well,
Dropping coins in two by two.
I won’t be stuck standing in the pouring rain,
Getting soaked from head to toe.
’Cause I'm too smart to play that part,
Just because you didn’t show.
I don’t need to know where you’re going
Or who’s on the telephone line.
I don’t have time to mind your business
And I wouldn’t want you minding mine.
I was just reading a real good book
When you came in at half past three.
So don’t get your hopes up...
You’ll never make a fool of me.
You’ll never catch me making promises
On a moonlight rendezvous.
You’ll never see me sitting by the wishing well,
Dropping coins in two by two.
I won’t be stuck standing in the pouring rain,
Getting soaked from head to toe.
’Cause I'm too smart to play that part,
Just because you didn’t show.
Show me a man at the edge of a mountain
And I’ll show you a man in love.
It’s easy to give your heart to a woman
When she fits just like a glove.
But I’ve been around a few times,
As you can plainly see.
So don’t get your hopes up...
You’ll never make a fool of me.
