Can You Fool
Echoes of Heartache: Unraveling the Depths of Love in Glen Campbell's 'Can You Fool'
Lyrics
You can take all of the
You have the ability to collect all
Money that you made
The earnings or wealth you've acquired
And put it in a jar
And store it away
Dragged outta my
Pulled or taken forcefully from my
That'll show you
That action will demonstrate something to you
Is heaven very far
Questioning if heaven is distant
You can take all of them
You can gather all those
Letters that you need til you
Correspondences or messages until you
Find out who you are
Discover your true identity
And maybe you can figure why
Perhaps you can comprehend why
That woman wanna be so cruel
That woman desires to be so unkind
But you just can't forget her
However, you're unable to erase her from memory
Can you, fool
Can you, a foolish person, forget her?
Oh, the winter nights and city lights
Referencing wintry nights, urban illumination
And the crying of the train
And the sorrowful sound of trains
Every day, the hate of rain
Each day, detesting the rainfall
Every memory's a pain
Every recollection causes anguish
And you finally used
Finally utilizing the intelligence granted by God
The sense God gave you
To seek shelter from distress
To come out of the rain
Emerging from an adverse situation
And still you can't figure why
Yet still unable to comprehend why
That woman wanna be so cruel
That woman opts to be so unkind
But you just can't forget her
Despite being unable to erase her from memory
Can you, fool
Can you, a fool, forget her?
Love is long and love is hard
Love endures and is arduous
And love brings lots of pain
It brings substantial suffering
For she was here and now she's gone
She was once present, now absent
Please bring her back again
Requesting her return
Now you can take all of
Now you have the option to gather all
The money that you made
The wealth or earnings you've acquired
And put it in a jar
And preserve it
Dragged outta my
Forcefully taken from my
That'll show you
That action will display something to you
Is heaven very far
Questioning the distance to heaven
You can take all of that
You have the option to consume all
Medicine you need til you
The prescribed medication until you
Find out who you are
Discover your true identity
And maybe you can figure why
Perhaps you can understand why
That woman wanna be so cruel
That woman chooses to be so unkind
But you just can't forget her
However, you're unable to erase her from memory
Can you, fool
Can you, a foolish person, forget her?
