Gwen Hughes - The One Who Fooled Them All Lyrics

My hairdresser asked me once to dream of the Caribbean
He had a plastic cape around his neck and a nozzle in his hand
He said see the coconuts...oh don't confuse them with the mangoes
And he said, see your boyfriend next to you with a mai tai in his hand

And I opened my eyes and I asked him: Which one?

The one with the deep green eyes
The one with the river brown hair
The one with the chocolate voice that whispered sonnets in my ear
Or the one who leaves the flowers on my door
When the other one forgot to call
The one who took my heart away
The One Who Fooled Them All.

I used to think that lovers shared every day like it wouldn't last
Loving and singing, like you're running and racing downhill
He said, see the rainbows, ah, don't confuse them with the slideshow
And I said, you mean the sideshow, the circus that leaves me out of breath?

And he said to me, as he left me: Which one?

The one with the deep green eyes
The one with the river brown hair
The one with the chocolate voice that whispered sonnets in my ear
Or the one who leaves the flowers on my door
When the other one forgot to call
The one who took my heart away
The One Who Fooled Them All.

You never know...how long, how far it can go
How long...how deep...you want a love to keep

And he said to me as he left me: Which one?

The one with the deep green eyes
The one with the river brown hair
The one with the chocolate voice that whispered sonnets in my ear
Or the one who leaves the flowers on my door
When the other one forgot to call
The one who took my heart away
The One Who Fooled Them All.
