I noticed the tab file for this song included a request for help on the
lyrics.  Happy to oblige.

WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES - Doobie Brothers
(words & music by Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins (I think!))
from the LP "Minute By Minute"

VERSE 1
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
the sentimental fool don't see
trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
once in her life

She musters a smilefor his nostalgic tale
never coming near what he wanted to say
only to realize
it never really was

REFRAIN
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
as he rises to her apology
anybody else would surely know
he's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
no wise man has the power
to reason away what seems to be
is always better than nothing
and nothing at all...

LINK
keeps sending him...

VERSE 2
Somewhere back in her long ago
where he can still believe there's a place in her life
someday, someway
she will return

REPEAT REFRAIN

AD LIB &FADE


I transcribed it. The lyrics are hard for me to understand; I
don't have it on paper. Anybody else?
