Only a Fool

I made a mess; can you clean it up?
Don't let me take the fall this time
Only a fool would follow every rule
Let's not be fools tonight

You say that love is not everything
You've seen a dozen boys take flight
Only a fool would fly away from you
Let's not be fools tonight

When you show up, I won't make a sound
I'll keep my stupid mouth shut tight
Only a fool would try and talk things through
Let's not be fools tonight
