LIKE A FOOL

I must be like this because I’m a fool
It seems alright even when I’m hurt
Even when I’m teased about my pitiful love because I’m a fool beyond help

I was good to him because I wanted to be
I was happy with just that
If he smiles just once
I’m happy with that smile

Thinking “This boy doesn’t have a person he likes”
I simply stay by his side like this
Because this is a love where I’m happy to be giving
I don’t expect anything in return

A place from where I can reach him any time he holds out his hand
A place from where I can visit him any time he calls for me
I’ll stay there without changing
Because I love him

Because he was the one I chose
Even the pain made me happy
If he looks back at me just once
I’m happy with that

Thinking “This boy doesn’t have a person he likes”
I simply stay by his side like this
Because this is a love where I’m happy to be giving
I don’t expect anything in return

A place from where I can reach him any time he holds out her hand
A place from where I can visit him any time he calls for me
I’ll stay there without changing
Because I love him

Until someone else to watch over him in my place arrives
I’ll stay by his side for the time being
Because this is a love where I’m just happy to gaze at him
I don’t need anything in return

So that he can lean on me and rest any time
I’ll always appear the same
Even if he leaves me without saying goodbye
I’ll let him go saying thanks
Because I’m a fool
