Listen to poem:

Playing Your Fool

I don’t want to be anyone’s fool; I just want to be yours
Yes, go on, blame me, I know, I am just a lost cause

But never the victim, because I am enjoying the ride
And, if I said I never loved you; then know I have lied

I am just so addicted to all the games you play
I know I should have gone, but I chose to stay 

I don’t want to be anyone’s fool; I just want to be yours
Yes, go on, blame me, I know, I am just a lost cause

My life may not be worth living, but at least I would have lived
I hope all those that I leave behind; all learn to forgive

No one can revenge me; only you can leave me raw
But only because I love you, and you know the score

I don’t want to be anyone’s fool; I just want to be yours
Yes, go on, blame me, I know, I am just a lost cause

Did you see me coming, of that I will never know
But in the end who cares, because I am giving it a go

Because I love the emotions; you drive around me the bend
And I am sticking with you babes, to the very end 

I don’t want to be anyone’s fool; I just want to be yours
Yes, go on, blame me, I know, I am just a lost cause

I don’t want to be anyone’s fool; I just want to be yours
Yes, go on, blame me, I know, I am just a lost cause

[SPOKEN]

Did you see me coming, of that I will never know
But in the end who cares, because I am giving it a go

Because I love the emotions; you drive around me the bend
And I am sticking with you babes, to the very end
