I’m Only Foolin’ Myself Songtext
von Paul Young

I don′t judge my memory anymore
I can't tell if things are better than they were before
But this heart of mine is ready to believe
Long lost lover comes back home
And the life-long friend
Can′t stand being alone

Until the morning comes
And you have to leave
Then I see you on the street
Holding on to someone else
Who even looks like me
Seems like...

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
It can be dangerous, dangerous
If I lose control


I′m only fooling myself
I′m playing games with my heart and soul
Everybody knows fooling yourself
Can be dangerous, dangerous
When you lose control
When you've only got yourself to blame.

Well, when you asked if I could take you in
It was harder than it should have been
′Cos you were always search good company
And last night you wanted to stay
But in the morning you just slipped away
Without sayin' goodbye
And maybe that was just a dream

Well I′m easy when it comes to being unkind
And yes I need a little bit of love on the side
Than the truth begins to hurt
It gets too hard to hide

I'm only fooling myself
I′m playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
Can be dangerous, dangerous
If I lose control

I'm only fooling myself
I'm playing games with my heart and soul


If I use sleight of hand
To make you reappear
Still I can′t be sure
What is and isn′t real

I'm only fooling myself
I′m playing games with my heart and soul
I know that fooling myself
Can be dangerous, dangerous
If I lose control

I'm only fooling myself
I′m playing games with my heart and soul
Everybody knows fooling yourself
Can be dangerous, dangerous
If you lose control
