U Ain'T Foolin Me

I want to cuddle you cleverly
I loved you since Hills, Beverly
I hooked up many times and I don’t regret the experiences
But, the aftermath of my sins are only mere reminiscences

You ain’t fooling me, bizarre notions
You ain’t fooling me, crazy emotions
Soften up like butter on toast
You are humbly accepted to boast

You don’t know my past
I live in the present — what about you?
Are you running too fast
On this race, trying to keep pace?
Don’t you know I have vast grace?
You ain’t fooling me, anger
You ain’t fooling me, banger
You are messing with the wrong guy
Can’t deny and I cannot lie…I’m feeling so damn high
Then, regret settles in…but I’m not fooling anyone (sigh)

I want to be near you right now
But I must be patient and prosperous
Not preposterous or oh so anxious somehow
My mind is so spacious and gracious, nonsensically and nonchalantly living in the now

You ain’t fooling me, bizarre notions
You ain’t fooling me, crazy emotions
Soften up like butter on toast
You are humbly accepted to boast

You don’t know my past
I live in the present — what about you?
Are you running too fast
On this race, trying to keep pace?
Don’t you know I have vast grace?
You ain’t fooling me, anger
You ain’t fooling me, banger
You are messing with the wrong guy
Can’t deny and I cannot lie…I’m feeling so damn high
Then, regret settles in…but I’m not fooling anyone (sigh)

I can’t deny or lie,
You’re a vision with precision
I can’t deny or lie,
I ain’t fooling the Lord with my final decision —
I’m letting you go
Know I still love you regardless
Reap what you sow
Know I still love you more or less

You ain’t fooling me, bizarre notions
You ain’t fooling me, crazy emotions
Soften up like butter on toast
You are humbly accepted to boast

You don’t know my past
I live in the present — what about you?
Are you running too fast
On this race, trying to keep pace?
Don’t you know I have vast grace?
You ain’t fooling me, anger
You ain’t fooling me, banger
You are messing with the wrong guy
Can’t deny and I cannot lie…I’m feeling so damn high
Then, regret settles in…but I’m not fooling anyone (sigh)

Do it, just show me that you care
You can’t just leave me behind in despair
You ain’t fooling anyone with your precarious ways
I am caught up in a summer haze and a sugarcoated gaze
Spread your deceitful, pretty lies
I dare you as you say your final goodbyes
You can’t just change me overnight
I will fight the good fight without a fright
It took a long time for me to admit, admit
That I’m lost without you here
It shook me to the core, I need an outlet
That I’m found when you’re near

You ain’t fooling me, bizarre notions
You ain’t fooling me, crazy emotions
Soften up like butter on toast
You are humbly accepted to boast

You don’t know my past
I live in the present — what about you?
Are you running too fast
On this race, trying to keep pace?
Don’t you know I have vast grace?
You ain’t fooling me, anger
You ain’t fooling me, banger
You are messing with the wrong guy
Can’t deny and I cannot lie…I’m feeling so damn high
Then, regret settles in…but I’m not fooling anyone (sigh)

You don’t know my past
I live in the present — what about you?
Are you running too fast
On this race, trying to keep pace?
Don’t you know I have vast grace?
You ain’t fooling me…
You made an excuse to leave me be
Can’t you truly see
That I adored you, but I’ll eventually be all the way free
I’m too busy, being me, myself and I
That, I cannot deny…I’m a complicated, peculiar guy 
I’m painfully shy, yet I’m not at the same time
Is it a crime to still hold on to loved ones this time?
Sometimes, I wonder…
In a summer blur
But you ain’t fooling me, you ain’t fooling me, me, me
With your brokenness
Possibly, it’s a possibility and a missed opportunity
We can all be free sincerely more or less

I’m making progress —
What about you?
Cuz you ain’t foolin me one bit 
With your boredom disease
