'Silly of me' by Deniece Williams

I love Motown, especially in the summer. One of my favourite Motown singers is Deniece Williams, and this is one of her greatest songs. She sings really high at the end, and was an inspiration for Mariah Carey (who can't really sing at all...)

Silly Of me to think that I could ever have you for my guy

How I love you... how I want you...

Silly of me to think that you could ever really want me too

How I love you...

Chorus:

You're just a lover out to score

I know that I should be looking for more

What could it be in you I see

What could it be...

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

(Verse 2)

Silly of me to think that you could ever know the things I do

Are all done for you...only for you

Silly of me to take the time to comb my hair and pour the wine

And Know you're not there

Chorus:

You're just a lover out to score

And I know that I should be looking for more

What could it be in you I see

What could it be...

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

Ooh,

Verse 3

Silly of me to go around and brag about the love I found

And say you're the best, well, I cant tell the rest

And Foolish of me to tell them all that every night and day you call

When you could care less

Chorus:

You're just a lover out to score

And I know that I should be looking for more

What could it be in you I see

What could it be...

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,...Silly

Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,...Silly

Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh... Silly

Ooh,Ooh,la,la,la,la,la,la,la...Silly

la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la...Silly
