Lovable Fool

by C. Carson Parks

I will be a fool when you look at me Do some funny thing that you will see Make some dumb remark Just whistling in the dark, Hoping just to hide the real me. I may laugh too loud when you pass my way Holding back the things I want to say Playing out the sham, Hiding who I am Afraid somehow that you might turn away. Though you tell your friends I’m your lovable fool and act like you’re my next-door girl. I don’t know being your lovable fool, I just want to be in your world. So, go ahead and smile when you think of me, I will make you laugh each time you call: I would rather be your lovable fool, Than never cross your mind at all, Than never cross your mind at all.
