You Little Fool

Track B7
 
[Verse 1] Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend But she's never wanted at home Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers Talks on the telephone for hours and hours With the bird in his hand And two on a string The words of love have an imitation ring [Chorus] You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) I suppose that you're going to stay all night You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) [Bridge] They say no news is good news The little girl wants information Mother just gives her some pills to chew And says, "Go and use your imagination" [Verse 2] Daddy's best girl in the world says, "Just look what I got" As she sits beside him on the high stool With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand And the other full of imitation jewels She fingers a string of pearls An imitation but he'll never know it Imitation lashes flutter above Looking for an imitation of love [Chorus] You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) I suppose that you're going to stay all night You, you little fool (little fool, little fool) Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right You little fool (lite fool, little fool) You little fool (little fool, little fool) You little fool (little fool, little fool)
