Fool's Paradise Lyrics - Sam Cooke

I often think off the live I've led 

And oh, it's a wonder, I ain't dead 

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night 

Living is a fool's paradise 

My mother told me and my father told me too 

Said my child, it's all catch up with you 

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night 

Living in a fool's paradise 

Though I've learned my lesson 

Like all fools I've met 

Oh, I've learned things in this life 

That I haven't forgotten yet 

My father told me, my mother said it right 

Said my son, you're ruining your life 

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night 

Living in a fool's paradise
