No Fool For You

I see you standing naked

Bathed in city lights

You’re a window, baby

And I’m a wall that fights

 

To hold you in place

When the world looks through your face

And you just smile with those glassy eyes

I stand my ground, you open wide

 

[chorus]

You thought I was a fool

But I’m no fool for you

Don’t you know that babe?

 

You’re the summer breeze

We all wait to let in

Moving through the downtown streets

In a dress that falls off your skin

 

And your kiss connects me

To every other kiss

In a city where love never was

And where it won’t be missed

 

[chorus]

 

You built an empire tall

Made of cigarettes and alcohol

Late nights inside a cloud

Of private thoughts you lived out loud

 

You took my hand

I let you take my hand

And I watched your lips

As I pulled out from your fingertips

 

[chorus x3]
