Fooling Yourself

by C.W. McCall

(Relax... take it easy..)
You see the world through your cynical eyes,
you're a troubled young man I can tell
you've got it all in the palm of your hand
but your hand's wet with sweat, and your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
you're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man,
when your future looks quite bright to me?
How can there be such a sinister plan
that could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man?
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
you're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up!, Get back on your feet!
you're the one they can't beat, and you know it
Oh!, Come on!, Let's see what you've got!
just take your best shot and don't blow it
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
you're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up!, Get back on your feet!
you're the one they can't beat and you know it
Oh!, Come on!, Let's see what you've got!
just take your best shot and don't blow it ☺

Fooling Yourself

by Elton john

If you're doing it for yourself
And you don't care what they think
I can understand having a little fun
It really makes no difference to me
Now you're taking it too far
Why can't you see
That being strung out for two weeks just to
be with them
is being someone you never wanted to be
[Chorus]
I don't care
that you turned your back on me
I do care that your turned your back on you
turned your back on me
Yeah you're doing it for yourself
And you don't care what they think
Cause you're searching for something
That you will never find
Something you'll never reach
[Chorus]
Guess whose making it too far
Why can't you see
That being strung out for two weeks
Just to be with them is being
Someone you never wanted to be......
