NEW FOOL AT AN OLD GAME
(Steve Bogard / Rick Giles / Sheila Stephen (m & l) 1987)

Reba McEntire 1988

Reba's 12th number one charted song.


You sure know what you're doin'
Holdin' me this way
And I'll go where you lead me
Anywhere you say
You've got me where you want me
So darlin' please be kind
Before you take it all
And I make that final fall
You've got to keep in mind.

I'm a new fool at an old game
A kid out of school tryin' to find my way
But I don't know the rules, so teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool at an old game.

(bridge)

Maybe I'm a dreamer
Or maybe I'm naive
But when you say you love me
I start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds
This night will never end
But if it isn't so and I cry when you go
You've got to understand.

That I'm a new fool at an old game
A kid out of school tryin' to find my way
But I don't know the rules, teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool at an old game.
