Life’s made up of drama- At least that’s how it seems. Sometimes it’s a nightmare- Rarely pleasant dreams. You are bound for disappointment I guarantee that’s true. When you stop and try to figure out Just who is fooling who. “Love” is used so lightly- The meaning has been lost. It’s tossed about quite freely- But, O, at what a cost? With men it’s but a catch word- With women, often true- But take time to consider- In the end, who’s fooling who? The man wants passing pleasure- The woman, married bliss… She wants security in life, He’ll settle for a kiss. They are doomed to disappointment I’ve found this to be true. And when it comes to hindsight- Tell me who is fooling who? |

I gave up on married bliss a long time ago, and I don't trust "I love you " anymore. In who is fooling who...someone is always fooling someone about one thing or another. I enjoyed this. The picture is more real. "Its gonna be alright cause I'm okay with me" |

Pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. So far as experience would tell me. I'm still a dreamer at heart though, will always love the idea of being in love. |
