(Chorus)
I know that you've been foolin' 'round on me right from the start
So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Just come on home and fool around with me
Well, I wasn't foolin' 'round the day I said "I do"
But many a night I wished that I'd been foolin' too
I know it's foolish takin' all this misery
But when it's you, a fool I'll always be
(Repeat Chorus)
So honey, fool around, you know right where I'm at
And don't worry if I'm lonesome, cause I'm used to that
And when you're tired of foolin' 'round with two or three
Then come on home and fool around with me!
(Repeat Chorus)
(Spoken)
Please come on home, baby, I'm waiting for you, see
Mm-hm, just for you...How can I stand 2 stay where I am?
Poor butterfly who don't understand
Why can't I fly away in a special sky?
If I don't find my destiny soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon
I want to live life to the ultimate high
Maybe I'll die young like heroes die
Maybe I'll kiss u some wild special way
If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon
If that's alright
Lovers like us dear are born 2 die
If they don't find us what will we do?
I guess we'll make love under the cherry moon
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon
