Joan Armatrading - Romancers lyrics

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

My baby say

It's all alright

That's good enough for me

Say pay no heed to idle minds

They're all romancers
