Campbell, Glen - Can You Fool Lyrics






Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
You take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Maybe you can figure why that woman wanna be so cruel
But ya, ya just can't forget her, can you fool?

Well those winter nights and the city lights and the crying of the train
Everyday is a shade of gray, every memory's a fade
And then ya finally use the sense God gave ya to come out of the rain
Still you can't figure why that man is got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?

Oh, love is long and love is hard
Love brings lots of pain
She was here, now she's gone
Lord, bring her back again

Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
And you can take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Still you can't figure why that man he got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?
No, you just can't forget her, can you fool?
Aww, can you fool?

Campbell, Glen Can You Fool Comments
  1. S.... R....

    Glen Campbell
    "Can You Fool"
    1978.

  2. b.... ....

    I had forgotten about this song until I heard it on AccuRadio’s “lost 70’s”...it’s like finding a gem.

  3. S.... D....

    This doesn't sound to me like Glen's guitar playing. I almost never hear him screech his fingers along the guitar string, yet you hear it a few times in this recording. It surprises me to hear on a Glen Campbell performance, especially a recorded one.

    S.... D....

    Squee Dow damn, you know your Glen 🎸

    You can take all of the
    Money that you made
    And put it in a jar

    Drag out a map
    That'll show you
    Is heaven very far?

    You can take all of the
    Medicine that you need til you
    Find out who you are

    And maybe you can figure
    Why that woman wanna be so cruel
    But you just can't forget her
    Can you, fool?

    Oh, those winter nights and city lights
    And the crying of the train
    Every day's a shade of gray
    Every memory's a pain

    And you finally used
    The sense God gave you
    To come out of the rain

    And still you can't figure (why)
    Why that woman wanna be so cruel
    But you just can't forget her
    Can you, fool?

    Love is long and love is hard
    And love brings lots of pain
    For she was here and now she's gone
    Please bring her back again

    Now you can take all of
    The money that you made
    And put it in a jar

    Drag out a map
    That'll show you
    Is heaven very far?

    You can take all of that
    Medicine you need til you
    Find out who you are

    And maybe you can figure
    Why that woman wanna be so cruel
    But you just can't forget her
    Can you, fool?

    One of my favorite Glen Campbell songs...thanks.

    This is probably my overall favorite Glen Campbell songs, although I really liked many of his earlier recordings. Strangely, I didn't really care for some of his songs that people seemed to like most and - to my thinking - played to death. I'm referring especially to Rhinestone Cowboy and Southern Nights.
