Lady luck never smiles So lend your love to me awhile Do with me what you will Break the spell take your fill On and on we rode the storm The flame has died and the fire has gone Oh, this empty bed is a night alone I realized that long ago Is anybody out there, anybody there Does anybody wonder, anybody care Oh, I just gotta know If you're really there and you really care Cause baby I'm not F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' Won't you stay with me awhile Close your eyes don't run and hide Easy love is no easy ride Just wakin' up from what we had Could stop good love from going bad Is anybody out there, anybody there Does anybody wonder, anybody care Oh, I just gotta know If you're really there and you really care Cause baby I'm not F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' Oh, I just gotta know If you're really there and you really care Cause baby I'm not F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' Not f-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' I'm not foolin' myself I'm not foolin' myself I'm not foolin' myself I'm not foolin' myself
