Foolish Man Lyrics

I feel like a child
Feel as if I might have grown up wild
And I feel like a fool
Feel as if I didn't do well at school
And I keep expecting things that don't happen
Should but they don't
Could but they won't
And I don't see
No I don't see
Just don't understand
I must be a foolish man
And I would laugh, if I could laugh
But it's so damn close to the bone
Would make you feel alone
And time just flies
Yes it does
Seems like fortune's moment
Passes
Blind to delight
And free from the weight of masses
But I keep expecting things that don't happen
Should but they don't
Could but they won't
And I don't see
No I don't see
I just don't understand
I must be such a foolish man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
