What A Fool Believes Lyrics - Aretha [1980] - Aretha Franklin

He came from somewhere back in her long ago 

The sentimental fool don't see 

Trying hard to recreate 

What had yet to be created once in her life 

She musters a smile 

For his nostalgic tale 

Never coming 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 watching her go 

But 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

But what a fool believes he sees 

No wise man has the power to reason away 

What seems to be 

Is always better than nothing 

There's nothing at all 

But what a fool believes he sees
