What a fool believes Lyrics

Cover art for What a fool believes lyrics by Michael McDonald

McDonald's original idea of the song was that of two people meeting in a restaurant - two people who had a passionate relationship a while before the meeting. To the man, the affair was the best thing in his life; to the woman, it was fun, but it was time to move on. In the conversation, the man would make a complete fool of himself.

Great p.o.v. or the nothing ever happened and it's unrequited?
