Fool for the Night Lyrics by Rainbow

Bent Out of Shape

1983

[Verse 1]
I know just what you're thinking
I know just how you feel
Something somewhere inside you
Says you can't believe it's real

[Pre-Chorus]
So you're gonna play the game
All the faces and the names
Know you're never gonna change

[Chorus]
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
And you just can't see it

[Verse 2]
Running with the shadows
Like a phantom through the night
And as the curtain rises
You get ready for the fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Say you want to even up the score
You don't know what you're doing it for
Too much, but you still need more

[Chorus]
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
A fool for the night
And you still can't see it

[Bridge]
Ain't gonna try and tell you
Know the story oh so well
Everybody's out to buy and sell you
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh, here it comes again
And I know it's never gonna end, oh
I must be dreaming (Dreaming)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Fool for the night
Fool for the night

[Bridge]
Ain't gonna try and tell you
Know the story only too well
Everybody's out to buy and sell you
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh, here it comes again
And I know it's never gonna end
I must be dreaming (dreaming)

[Verse 3]
You love the night life
All the neon and the noise
And underneath the spotlights
Keep rocking with the boys

[Pre-Chorus]
So you're gonna get it while you can
But you're never gonna understand
Nobody really gives a damn

[Chorus]
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
You're fool for the night
Why don't you see it?
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
Why don't you see it?

[Outro]
Fool for the night
Fool for the night
You're just a fool for the night
A fool for the night
Fool for the night
You're just a fool for the night
Fool for the night
Fool for the night
