Make Me Act The Fool

Make me act the fool for all my friends 
and my relations
Let them think I'm crazy, yes, can be
Let me hear them laugh and say 
in undertones and whispers:
No one acts the fool as well as he

Let the world be wise to what is going 
on inside me
Let it colour everything I do
Let me hear them laugh and when you're 
standing here beside me
Let them see I act the fool for you

Give me bells upon my fingers
Give me bells upon my toes
Make me wear a pointed hat
And dress in funny clothes

You can make me entertain you
Like the troubadours would do
Then take me in your arms 
And make me act the fool for you

Let a people say you twist me round 
your little finger
Let them say you've got me on a string
I don't care what people say it really 
doesn't matter
Talking really doesn't mean a thing,oh no

Let them laugh and say I've changed beyond 
all recognition
If that is really what they wanna do
I do what I wanna do, the way I wanna do it
And I just want to act the fool for you
