What a fool believes Lyrics

Cover art for What a fool believes lyrics by Michael McDonald

The story of this song goes like this: McDonald was given an ultimatum by the Doobie Brothers that if he didn't write them a new hit song in time for Koko Goldstein's big party, he was out of the band. Kenny Loggins offered to help, but McDonald was wary as Loggins had ditched his old partner, Jimmy Messina, who had since become an alcoholic vagrant. Loggins had been unaware of Messina's despondancy and went to go patch things up. Messina refused to forgive Loggins prompting McDonald to say "Do you really believe you can just come here and try to recreate what has yet to be created? That's what a fool believes!" And a hit was born.
