Tim Moore - A Fool Like You lyrics

If a fool like you could listen to a fool like me And if the leaves on the trees could stop shaking in the wind If a fool like you could listen to a fool like me Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin Cryin' with the millionaire is like laughin' with the old street bum Send him off down to the coliseum, promise him kingdom come And when the baby cries in the middle of the prayer He's sayin' hurry up daddy, hurry up because we're almost there I tell you, if a fool like you could listen to a fool like me And if the leaves on the trees could stop shaking in the wind If a fool like you could listen to a fool like me Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin Now the tempers get hot, oh and the fingers, they shake Seems there ain't enough sunshine around to keep a man wide awake Now when the artist gets mad, he can take up his brush But when the crippled man loses his faith, well, who's gonna give him a crutch I tell you, if a fool like you could listen to a fool like me And if the leaves on the trees could stop shaking in the wind If a fool like you could listen to a fool like me Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin This old overcoat, man, it's seen a lot of rain Like a junkyard scrap DeSoto, I've been learnin' my pain An old Heath radio taught me how to sing Now you just give me a guitar and man I'll forget about everything And I tell you, if a fool like you could listen to a fool like me And if the leaves on the trees could stop shaking in the wind If a fool like you could listen to a fool like me, I tell you Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin Maybe, baby, we could stop long enough to begin
