You Little Fool Lyrics

The song You Little Fool is performed by Elvis Costello in the album named Imperial Bedroom in the year 2002 .



Daddy's best girl in the world
Is not supposed to have a boyfriend
But she's never wanted at home
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb

She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
With the bird in his hand and two on a string
The words of love have an imitation ring

You little fool, little fool, little fool
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You, you little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool

They say no news is good news
The little girl wants information
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
And says go and use your imagination

Daddy's best girl in the world
Says just look what I've got
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck, snowball in one hand
And the other full of imitation jewels

She fingers a string of pearls
An imitation but he'll never know it
Imitation lashes flutter above
Looking for an imitation of love

You little fool, little fool, little fool
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You, you little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
