  • No, no don't let me play the fool,
    I can't really love you by the rules
    For my love is sweet and free
    No, no don't make me play the fool,
    For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
    Can't you see it isn't me

    What you ask of me is just to be your clown,
    Someone you can lead about and show around,
    Why make of our love a children's puppet show
    Can't I simply love you in the way I know,

    What I ask of you is not to turn away,
    Listen to the words that I'm trying to say,
    Our love could be a new adventure every day,
    Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you

    No, no don't let me play the fool,
    I can't really love you by the rules
    For my love is sweet and free
    No, no don't make me play the fool,
    For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
    Can't you see it isn't me

    All I want from you is a little sympathy
    Try to understand what it would be for me
    All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
    Any hope of freedom would have surely died,
    I want to know that I can fall in love again
    And be sure that my love will never not restrain
    So please just let me love you in the way I know,
    Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.

    No, no don't let me play the fool,
    I can't really love you by the rules
    For my love is sweet and free
    No, no don't make me play the fool,
    For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
    Can't you see it isn't me

    Oh please

    No, no don't let me play the fool,
    I can't really love you by the rules
    For my love is sweet and free
    Oh baby, no, no don't make me play the fool,
    For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
    Can't you see it isn't me Writer/s: GILBERT MONTAGNE, PATRICK KENT
