[Verse 1]
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying hard to recreate what has yet to be created
Once in her life
She musters her smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was

[Pre-Chorus]
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He watches her go

[Chorus]
But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
Keep sending him
Hey, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Some day, somewhere, she will return

[Pre-Chorus]
She had a place in his life (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He watches her go

[Chorus]
But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all (Hey)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
What a fool believes
