lyrics

I'll follow you in rainfall
in howling high-speed wind
you know I'll weather any storm for you honey
I'll take all the sin
you can leave me stranded
throw me underneath the bus
you can run around behind my back
I won't make no fight or fuss

Cuz all I ever wanted was to be your fool
All I ever wanted was to be your fool

watch me turning cartwheels
watch me turning tricks
I'll be the jester, I'll play the clown
you know you get your kicks
I'll make you laugh laugh so hard
until you're shedding tears
I'm gonna make you laugh baby
like you ain't laughed in years

Cuz all I ever wanted was to be your fool
All I ever wanted was to be your fool

I get loaded on the touch of your lips
I get drunk on your voice
I get high on the smell of your perfume
don't even have a choice
but it's not your body that I live for
it's not the way you move
it's not your name, your face, or your pretty nails
it's a soul groove

All I ever wanted was to be your fool
All I ever wanted was to be your fool
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to be your fool
be your fool
be your fool
