Lefty Frizzell - Through The Eyes Of A Fool

If I see someone hold her tight that's all right they're just dancing
If they're together in the moonlight they're just talking not romancing
If I see her out with someone it's just some old friend from school
That's how it looks through the eyes of a fool.

If her phone rings and she whispers I can talk now I don't care
A private matter and she'd better not discuss it with me there
If I see her smile at someone that's not breaking any rule
That's how it looks through the eyes of a fool.

They say that seeing is believeing believe me it's not true
You can teach your eyes to only see the things you're wantin' to
So I'd rather keep pretending like a little child in school
And now keep looking through the eyes of a fool.

(I'll keep looking through the eyes of a fool...)
