The Fool (Live, Olympia 1985) - Gilbert Montagné

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,

Fot 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 ev'ry 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,

Fot 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,

Fot this thing you ask oh! it's so cruel,

Can't you see it isn't me...
