Sam Cooke - Fool's Paradise lyrics

rate me

I often think off the live I've ledAnd oh, it's a wonder, I ain't deadDrinking and gambling, staying out all nightLiving is a fool's paradiseMy mother told me and my father told me tooSaid my child, it's all catch up with youDrinking and gambling, staying out all nightLiving in a fool's paradiseThough I've learned my lessonLike all fools I've metOh, I've learned things in this lifeThat I haven't forgotten yetMy father told me, my mother said it rightSaid my son, you're ruining your lifeDrinking and gambling, staying out all nightLiving in a fool's paradiseOh yeah, living in a fool's paradise
