Romancers - Joan Armatrading

Every day my friends say

I’m in the worst kind of trouble

But they talk in vain

I ain’t listening, I listed too often

Where they get their wisdom, I shall never know

And I can’t believe my ears

There’s fifty people telling me to give it up

But I don’t want to hear

Fortune tellers, seeing omens

And writings on walls

I think they falsify, they mean to see me cry

They offer less than my hopes

Where they get their magic, I shall never know

And I can’t believe my eyes

They push the rainbows out and give you stormy skies

But I don’t want to know

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

I’m living on false hope and lies

I’m gonna be rejected, let down expect it

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

I’m living on false hope and lies

I’m gonna be rejected, let down expect it

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

My baby say, «It's all alright»

That’s good enough for me

Say, «Pay no heed to idle minds»

They’re all romancers

My baby say, «It's all alright»

That’s good enough for me

Say, «Pay no heed to idle minds»

They’re all romancers, romancers

Romancers, romancers
