Silly Lyrics
Johnny Mathis Feat. Deniece Williams
Lyrics
Silly of me to think that I
Could ever have you for my guy
How I love you
How I want you
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever really want me too
How I love you
You're just a lover out to score
I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever know the things I do
Are all done for you
Only for you
Silly of me to take the time
To comb my hair and pour the wine
And know you're not there
You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Ooh... hoo... hoo... hoo...
Silly of me to go around
And brag about the love I've found
I say you're the best
Well, I can't tell the rest
And foolish of me to tell them all
That every night and day you call
When you could care less
You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh... oh... oh... love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me, uh-huh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh... ooh... ooh... silly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh... ooh... ooh... silly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Silly
Ooh, ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly
