Don't choose me because I am faithful   Don't choose me because I am kind   If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking   Take me for longing or leave me behind      I would be for you, a fire in a rainbow   I would be for you, an opening door   Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom   Try to forget them or love me no more      I'm not asking your heart to believe me   I'm not asking for promise or pledge   Whatever the answer, it's yes that's the question   I am the fool dancin' over the edge      Don't choose me because I am faithful   Don't choose me because I am kind   If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking   Take me for longing or leave me behind
