He thought he had recovered
When The Girl came in his life
A comfortable numbness of the mind
She broke through walls and barricades
He’d hid himself behind
Opening old wounds that he’d hoped
Noone would ever find…
And as she reached out to him
He restrained his own hand
And countered with: You’re barely out of school:
I’ve felt the things that you now feel,
I have stood where you now stand,
Believe me, I’m not trying to be cruel,
When I ask you to be cool,
You’re just being an April Fool…
April Fool, April Fool
You’ve got to do the best you can
You’re going to get over this man
You’ve got to make a start
And teach your heart
And force your head to rule…
April Fool…
She’d always been a winner
Her failures had been few
Voted Girl-Most-Likely-To-Succeed in school
Now all her old ambitions seem
To vaporize like dew
She’d settle now for being his
One and only April Fool
Half his mind says: Walk away!
You do not need this trial
You’ve sworn you would not once more lose control…
But his resolve starts to crumble
And with every new denial
He’s headed once again to lose his soul
And as he starts to lose his cool
Guess who gets to be The Fool?
