Any Foolish Thing Lyrics by Michael McDonald

Sweet Freedom

1985

I'm not used to saying things like that
'cause all my best intentions fall so flat
But when it comes down to it
My love for you knows no limit, darling
I'll say, I'll do
[Chorus:]
Any foolish thing to call on your affection
Any foolish thing to show how much I care
Any foolish thing that we say might come about
(any foolish thing that we say might just come true)
Don't take it lightly, girl
'cause it could just work out
(I'd bet it all on you)
That this love won't be any foolish thing
I know you don't believe in every line you hear
Forgive me if I'm sounding too sincere
But I can't take chances you might slip away
While I wait for the right time
And place to say
[Chorus]
Could turn you away
Can lead you astray
Or shadow this love I feel
Anything I say
Might make you see
That deep in my heart
Your love is safe with me
[Sax Solo]
[Chorus]
