[Verse 1]
The men on the corner hiding from their wives
Say that I should listen to some good advice
I know, I know, I’m living in a fool’s paradise
[Verse 2]
One guy says there’s some talk going ‘round
‘Bout an unlocked door, a cat from out of town
I know, I know, I’m living in a fool’s paradise
[Chorus]
Oh baby, ain’t that crazy
But I’d do anything to be your fool tonight
[Verse 3]
They say there’s stories every school kid knows
‘Bout an old boyfriend and some downtown clothes
I know, I know, I’m living in a fool’s paradise
[Chorus]
Oh baby, ain’t that crazy
But I’d do anything to be your fool tonight
[Verse 4]
One guy’s wife heard a few things
‘Bout a doctor’s bill, a missing wedding ring
I know, I know, I’m living in a fool’s paradise
[Verse 5]
The old man sweeping out the liquor store
Says that after me there’ll be plеnty more
I know, I know, I’m living in a fool’s paradise
[Chorus]
Oh baby, ain’t that crazy
But I’d do anything to be your fool tonight
