[Intro]
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
[Refrain]
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah I said it
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah I said it
[Verse]
And it was foolish of her to hold fast with the feelings that I had
When she knew a hundred years were going past
Foolish of me to keep time when a thousand other miracles
Were moving in her mind, look up
Look at all my words, how they run
Like a million rubber bullets in the air, in the sun
Where I’d put em but she couldn’t seem to care, she was numb
She was looking in the mirror, she had barely begun
[Chorus]
But it was foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
[Refrain]
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Never goin' back, never goin' back
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah I said it
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And I would watch over your field
Like a shadow in the orchard
And you would look back, and I’d fear
We weren’t ever goin' forward
But I'd fall on my knees
For a little bit of your affection
And all of my pleas
Still wouldn’t get it
Foolish of me, foolish of me
[Chorus]
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
[Outro]
Foolish of me to stick around
With the purple colored flowers in my hair, on the ground
Yeah, I said it
Foolish of her to play dumb
When she knew what she had done, she was doin' all along
But she did it
