Songs about being fooled

[certrtwngnut]

Why do fools fall in love.
Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

[Fiji Hill]

Saginaw, Michigan--Lefty Frizzell (1964)
A greedy rube is sent on a fruitless wild goose chase.

[dangus]

Of course, Brain Damage:

The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

[Songcraft]

"The Fool" - Sanford Clark

[Fiji Hill]

Fool #1--Brenda Lee (1961)

[dfwgator]

Pete Townshend - Slit Skirts

“No one respects the flame/quite like the fool who’s badly burned”

[Fiji Hill]

Find Another Fool--Glenda Collins (1961)

[CaptainPhilFan]

Released in 2009, I always thought this tune referred to the fraud that was Bath House Barry and his Burly Beard and The Monkey Lady Puppet Master.

Seriousness and sadness of the song aside, it’s a gorgeous tune with these 2 voices singing together. I love the video.

Please to enjoy

Full Steam - David Gray Annie Lennox

All our lives we’ve dreamed about it
Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain’t no great Valhalla
Coming closer each turn of the wheel
Forlorn adrift on seas of beige
In this our Golden Age

Bullied suckered pimped and patronized
Every day your tawdry little lives
So loose your head
And step within
The silence deafening

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam ahead

In and out of consciousness
It breaks my heart to see you like this
Crying wringing hands and cursing fate
Always so little far too late

It’s 3am I’m wide awake
There’s still one call to make
Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it

Running full steam ahead
Running full steam ahead
Running full steam

Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming and I
Running full steam

Now you
And I
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
We all saw it coming

But we Still bought it
