Foolish One (Taylors Version) (From The Vault)
[00:00.52] My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
[00:05.30] Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans
[00:10.17] And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
[00:19.75] You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
[00:24.84] Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right
[00:29.88] And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
[00:38.12] And the voices say, "You are not the exception
[00:45.04] You will never learn your lesson"
[00:50.11] Foolish one
[00:51.96] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[00:56.75] That ain't never gonna come
[00:59.95] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
[01:09.26] You know how to keep me waitin'
[01:11.92] I know how to act like I'm fine
[01:14.30] Don't know what to call this situation
[01:16.96] But I know I can't call you mine
[01:19.09] And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
[01:28.95] 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder
[01:31.87] It starts thinkin' you'll come around
[01:33.99] And maybe, someday, when we're older
[01:37.18] This is something we'll laugh about
[01:39.04] Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news
[01:47.28] But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
[01:54.21] You will never learn your lesson"
[01:59.27] Foolish one
[02:01.14] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[02:05.91] That ain't never gonna come
[02:09.17] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
[02:16.88] Foolish one
[02:18.46] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[02:23.25] That ain't never gonna come
[02:26.43] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out
[02:35.73] Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands
[02:40.53] Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"
[02:45.04] Oh, you haven't written me or called
[02:47.96] But goodbye screamin' in the silence
[02:50.88] And the voices in my head are tellin' me why
[02:58.87] 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
[03:03.67] I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
[03:08.45] And you will say you had the best of intentions
[03:18.29] And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
[03:23.36] Foolish one
[03:25.21] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[03:30.27] That ain't never gonna come
[03:33.19] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
[03:40.65] Foolish one
[03:42.56] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[03:47.34] That ain't never gonna come
[03:50.54] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out, oh-oh, oh, oh
[04:00.39] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh
[04:05.45] La-la-la-la-la
[04:07.58] Ain't never gonna come
[04:09.97] Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
[04:20.33] Foolish one
[04:22.99] Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love
[04:27.24] They ain't never gonna come
[04:30.17] And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out
[04:39.99] Foolish one
[04:42.12] The day is gonna come for your confessions of love
[04:47.44] When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one
[04:53.88] No, he just wasn't the one
