Laura Branigan Foolish Lullaby Lyrics

Foolish Lullaby Lyrics



(Jack White/Mark Spiro)



You always run to me 

Whenever she leaves you 

We trade philosophy

But nothing can free you 

Too many poison arrows hit

The heart you've try to hide

Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?



Still you talk as if 

She didn't hurt you 

But I see what she did 

And you see the virtue

You refuse to hear the words

That lie behind your eyes

Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby? 



If you are so sure that she's the one

Why are you lying here with me? 

Did it ever cross your mind at all 

Of how this feels to me?

I'll never know just what you see in her

I don't even want to try

I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby 



So we'll wear the goodbye look 

Collecting excuses 

For all the time it took

To hide the abuses 

The thorns around the roses left

Their mark below our eyes

Can't we say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?



If you are so sure that she's the one

Why are you lying here with me? 

Did it ever cross your mind at all 

Of how this feels to me?

I'll never know just what you see in her

I don't even want to try

I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby
