A Fool in Love
Lyrics

Look at the light coming over me
Show me a man who’s gentle and kind
And I’ll show you a loser
Now, show me a man who takes what he wants
Oh how exciting
Oh how exciting
So the poet sings

When you’re a fool in love
And nothing goes the way you plan
And no one cares and no one understands
That you’re a fool
And you’re in love

Never another spring for you,
Never a robin to sing for you,
You’re out there on your own
When you’re a fool in love

When you’re a fool in love
Seems like the skies are always grey
You turn around theres someone in your way
And its you
And you’re in love

Sometimes you think that your luck has changed
And a rainbow explodes ‘cross the sky,
But when you’re a fool in love
You’ll be a fool ’til the day you die


Poor Me
(Performed by Randy Newman. Written by Antoine Domino and Dave Bartholomew)
Lyrics

Woke up this mornin’
Feelin’ low
Where my love one used to live
She ain’t there no more.

Poor me
Why such bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I’m livin’ in misery

What I gonna do?
Hard to tell
Lord, I’m not going to kill myself
But I might as well

Poor me
I’m so lonely can’t you see?
Poor me
I’m livin’ in misery.

All I do
The whole day long
Fall down on my knees and pray
You’ll come back home.

Poor me
Why such bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I’m livin’ in misery.


Got my Mojo Working
(Performed by Randy Newman. Written by Preston Foster.)
Lyrics

I got my mojo workin’
Just won’t work on you
I got my mojo workin’
Just won’t work on you
Want you to love me ’til I don’t know what to do

I’m gonna go out in the country, get me a mojo hand
Have all these pretty women dance at my command
I got my mojo workin’
Just won’t work on you
Love you so ’til I don’t know what to do

I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
Got lots of little secrets that I got to keep on ice
I got my mojo workin’
Just won’t work on you
I got so much trouble I don’t know what to do

Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working

But it don’t work on you

Fool in Love (Sexy French version, with Susanna Hoffs)
Lyrics

When you’re a fool in love
Seems like the skies are always grey
You turn around theres someone in your way
And its you
And you’re in love

Never another spring for you,
Never a robin to sing for you,
You’re out there on your own
When you’re a fool in love

[Sexy French Susanna Hoffs section in a new key!]

[Accordion solo!]

Never another spring for you,
[More sexy French words!]
You’re out there on your own
[Susanna and Randy] When you’re a fool in love
