Becky Reyes: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Foolin’ Everyone was written in 1997. I used to play at the Quarter Moon Coffee House and there was this artist who used to come in to hear me play. He always seemed to be reading a book, but I’d catch him peeking out from behind that book.

I’ve been walkin’ on this street

I’ve been lookin’ for your face

And I’m damn tired of singin’ love songs

When I’m not in love

 

Well you came onto my scene

Your eyes were glued to your book

You watched me out of the corner of your eye

No I did not notice, no I did not notice

 

And I did not notice the earthquake

And I did not notice the sun

And I did not notice the smile on my face

I was foolin’ everyone, foolin’ everyone

 

I’ve been listening to your voice

I’ve been thinkin’ about your smile

I’ve been thinkin’ how you light up the room

How you look at tme that way, look at me that way

 

I try to keep this heart from thumpin’

I try to keep these ears from ringin’

I try to keep my hopes from leavin’ this world

The thought of you makes, makes my senses swirl
