 JIMMY BUFFETT - Who Are We Trying To Fool? Lyrics

Iris
,3r1141.83623grr1p
I like to think my heart is just a muscle
A muscle that I've learned to control
I figured, hell, one harmless midnight tussle
With you would rest quite easy on my soul
Now I see you're a tres, tres goddamn charmer
An actress is taught to be cool
BUT Who am I trying to fool?

Paperman
I'd like to toast your firm determination
But human nature's got the best of me
I've never forced myself upon a lady

Iris
,3r1141.83623grr1p
You're about as subtle as artillery

Paperman
I've been here before and I have to admit
that I can't keep my cool
Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?

Paperman Don't look for me to be your savior

Iris No good can come from this behavior

Sheila
This ain't no mystery, look at our history
It's just another wild Caribbean night
The rum and drums just bring out what's in us
Temptation's been here since that very first bite
Who are they tryin' to fool?
Who are they tryin' to fool?
They should forget it, they'll both regret it
He wants a push, she needs a shove
He's got a good wife, she hides a dark life
Fuel for combustion ?anger and love
Who are they tryin' to fool?
Who are they tryin' to fool?
Who are they tryin' to fool?

Paperman
Life is for most of us one long postponement

Iris
,3r1141.83623grr1p
If we think too much I guess we'll miss our chance

Paperman
It's our time, our night, our island, not our future

Iris It's not the whole tamale, just one dance

Duet
So Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Let's break all of those goddamn Kinja rules
