You're a fool, sometimes
Hearing what you wanna hear
believing what isn't there
and then you come back down
You hope too hard, sometimes
You want people to be better
though you know that you should never
ever imagine they will change for you
Girl, just close your eyes and
sing, sing, sing
You make mistakes, but you can
sing, sing, sing
I know it hurts, but you can
sing, sing, sing
Just don't forget to sing
You feel too old, sometimes
The boys your age are not grown up
they don't know what they really want
and you forget every time
You want too much, sometimes
You wish for less integrity
or a singular ability
for never feeling lonely
Girl, just close your eyes and
sing, sing, sing
You make mistakes, but you can
sing, sing, sing
I know it hurts, but you can
sing, sing, sing
Just don't forget to sing
Yes, you're a fool, sometimes
You push for things that shouldn't be
and then you're left there, wondering...
but God knows your whole heart
So, just close your eyes and
sing, sing, sing
You make mistakes, but you can
sing, sing, sing
I know it hurts, but you can
sing, sing, sing
Just don't forget to sing
