You may take me for a fool But after all I'm much like you Shaken or stirred, with or without a clue In how we present our points of view You are me and I am you In a lot of what we all go through
We happen to be much the same Though different colors, shapes, and names Some prefer early, some preform late Some jump right in, some hesitate Some spill the beans in what they say Some by all means don't give a thing away
With this true who are we to judge Life itself is tough enough We need to learn to get along This hate we've made is overdone Turn off the stove, pull out the plug Come together in one cause
No ifs, ands, or even buts No wish you man a lot of luck All are equal to the sum Both you and me and everyone Not all that simple, more than tough But it can be done if done in love
Because after all I'm much like you In all the foolish things we do
