The Fool That I Am

Lydia Cole

Compositor: Lydia Cole

Call me the fool that I am
And I will not contest
The things that I do
And what I pursue
Not always best

Call me the fool that I am
And I won’t second guess
I’ve got a front row seat
To each part of me
And all the mess

So call me the fool that I am
As if I’d forget

Call me the fool that I am
And I will not complain
Can’t keep my thoughts to myself
My words in my mouth
Yeah, I take the blame

Call me the fool that I am
And don’t you hesitate
I make my mistakes
But that’s just what it takes
To navigate

So call me the fool that I am
If you’re not the same

Call me the fool that I am
But that is not the end
You’re speaking the truth
But I don’t answer to you
Or take offence

So call me the fool that I am
And lay it to rest
