LONG LINE OF FOOLS
(Roy Baham)


Bobbi Martin - 1969


Every girl who sees you has to try to win your heart
Even though she knows she's a fool to ever start
But, darling, just for me won't you change your heartless rules
To make me be another in your long line of fools

I don't want your love if you're not mine to own
I don't want your kisses if they're not mine alone

Like you were a baby, girls still play the clown for you
You make them laugh or cry anytime you want them to
But I'm not just a clown and it's time you changed your rules
'Cause I can't be another in your long line of fools

No, I don't want your love if you're not mine to own
I don't want your kisses if they're not mine alone

You can have girls calling for another hundred years
But all that you'll be left with is a river full of tears
Yet we can love forever if you change your heartless rules
Don't make me be another in your long line of fools
No, babe, don't make me be another in your long line of fools
No, don't make me be another in your long line of fools
