What a Fool Believes (Live) - The Doobie Brothers

He came from somewhere back in her long ago

The sentimental fool don't see tryin' hard to recreate

What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

Never comin' near what he wanted to say

Only to realize it never really was

She had a place in his life

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watchin' her go

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be

Is always better than nothing

And nothing at all

Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago

Where he can still believe there's a place in her life

Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He's watchin' her go

What a fool believes he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be

(If love can come an' love can go)

(Why can't love be ?)

Is always better than nothing

(Ooo, )

And nothing at all

(Oh my)

What a fool believes he sees

(He believes he's never gone away)

No wise man has the power to reason away

(To reason)

To reason away

(Oh if love can come an' love can go)

What seems to be

(Oh my love)

Is always better than nothing

(Better than nothing)

Nothing at all

(Oh my love)
