Playin’ the fool
That’s all I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the fool
That’s all I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the cool, cool fool

I know that I’m made
In the image of Christ
Born of his living word
But when those old feelin’s
Start to stirrin’ inside me
I kinda forget the word I’ve heard

Playin’ the fool
That’s what I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the fool
That’s what I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the cool, cool fool

I know that his word
Will always win in the end
When spoken through lips of faith
Those heavy desires
Are just Satan’s liars
Danglin’ pieces of bait

Playin’ the fool
That’s what I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the fool
That’s what I’ve been doin’
Playin’ the cool, cool fool

Well, he’s walkin’ ’round
As a roarin’ lion
Seekin’ whom he may devour
Before he gets started
Nip him right in the bud
And drain all his
Non-existent power

Playin’ the fool
That’s all that he’s doin’
Playin’ the fool
That’s all that he’s doin’
Playin’ the cool, cool fool
