when we're round at a friend's house 
you act so precious and cool 
tell her I'm nothin' special at all 
just somebody who's passin' through 
just sombody who's passin' through 

and here I am tryin' to tell you again 
but you just don't understand 
that we could be somethin' special I know 
if you'd only let go -- take a chance 
just try it once -- take a chance 

but we're only -- we're only foolin' 
you know that we are -- we're only foolin' 
tell me what are you gonna do 
about a fool who's in love with you 
what are you gonna do 

when we go out on a saturday night 
feel like I'm stringin' along 
I ask you where are we going from here 
you know but you're not lettin' on babe 
well you know but you're not lettin' on 

so here we are at the crossroads 
between better or worse 
you tellin' me I'm too serious babe 
and one of use is gonna get hurt 
why do I always get hurt 

but we're only -- we're only foolin' 
you know that we are -- we're only foolin' 

tell me what are you gonna do 
about a fool who's in love with you 
what are you gonna do
