Foolish Games Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX August 13, 2010 I used to be so diplomatic My words were always acrobatic Jumpin' through hoops and bitin' my tongue I used to sit on the side and listen Suffer through the cuttin' and the dissin' Only sang along when the music played But after 'while my tongue just hurt I couldn't take the dish and dirt I no longer cared who got the blame Then you came along And you showed me what was real And I put aside those foolish games Ya, you came along And you showed me what was real And I put aside those foolish games Worryin' too much is like a weight You work too hard just to leave the gate You never get a chance to speak your mind Why wait so long to show yourself Go ahead and knock those old pictures off the shelf Then stand on up and leave that past behind Scream the truth down those darkened halls Knock down those diplomatic walls Finally you let me know my name Ya, you came along And you showed me what was real And I put aside those foolish games Now I write these songs that free me I turn the words so that you can see me When I get it right Those fools just fade When I get it right Those fools just fade
