Joan Armatrading - Romancers lyrics

Every day my friends say
I'm in the worst kind of trouble
But they talk in vain i ain't listening
I listed too often

Where they get their wisdom
I shall never know
And I can't believe my ears
There's fifty people telling me to
Give it up but, I don't want to hear
Fortune tellers seeing omens
And writings on walls i think they falsify
They mean to see me cry
They offer less than my hopes

Where they get their magic
I shall never know
And I can't believe my eyes
They push the rainbows out and give you
Stormy skies but, I don't want to know

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'm living on false hope and lies
I'm gonna be rejected let down
Expect it i'm living in a fool's paradise

My baby say it's all alright
That's good enough for me
Say pay no heed to idle minds
They're all romancers
