Who are we trying to fool?


Iris
I like to think my heart is just a muscle
A muscle that Ive learned to control
I figured, hell, one harmless midnight tussle
With you would rest quite easy on my soul
Now I see youre a tres, tres goddamn charmer
An actress is taught to be cool
But who am I trying to fool?

Paperman
Id like to toast your firm determination
But human natures got the best of me
Ive never forced myself upon a lady

Iris
Youre about as subtle as artillery

Paperman
Ive been here before and I have to admit
That I cant keep my cool
Who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?

Paperman dont look for me to be your savior

Iris no good can come from this behavior

Sheila
This aint no mystery, look at our history
Its just another wild caribbean night
The rum and drums just bring out whats in us
Temptations been here since that very first bite
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
They should forget it, theyll both regret it
He wants a push, she needs a shove
Hes got a good wife, she hides a dark life
Fuel for combustion ? anger and love
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?
Who are they tryin to fool?

Paperman
Life is for most of us one long postponement

Iris
If we think too much I guess well miss our chance

Paperman
Its our time, our night, our island, not our future

Iris its not the whole tamale, just one dance

Duet
So who are we trying to fool?
Who are we trying to fool?
Lets break all of those goddamn kinja rules

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.
