New Fool at an Old Game

You sure know what you're doing

Holding me this way

And I'll go where you lead me

Anywhere you say

You've got me where you want me

So darling please be kind

Before you take it all

And I make that final fall

You've got to keep in mind

I'm a new fool at an old game

A kid out of school, trying to find my way

But I don't know the rules, teach me how to play

I'm just a new fool at an old game

Maybe I'm a dreamer, or maybe I'm naive

But when you say you love me I start to believe

That coal can turn to diamonds

And this night will never end

But if it isn't so, and I cry when you go

You've got to understand that

I'm a new fool at an old game

A kid out of school, trying to find my way

But I don't know the rules, teach me how to play

I'm just a new fool at an old game
