Trusting Soul Lyrics

I may be naive, but I'm an optimist

I wanna believe that we all do our best

We only receive what we're givin', more or less

So if I'm blind to something underhand

I really don't mind if this is Wonderland

The ways of mankind, we never hope to understand

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, shame on you too

'Cos I'm a trusting soul

I'm a trusting soul

Those who deceive through opportunity

Will never receive the very best of me

We can achieve some faith in our humanity

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, well, not hard to do

'Cos I'm a trusting soul

I'm a trusting soul

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, well, shame on you too

'Cos I'm a trusting soul

Yeh, I'm a trusting soul

I'm a trusting soul

Yeh, I'm a trusting soul

Well, time's too short and life's too hard

To always spend it on your guard

Gotta have faith and true regard

But don't be thinking I don't see

When someone tries to get the better of me

At least I've got my dignity

And I won't change a thing, 'cos I'm proud to be

A trusting soul

I'm a trusting soul

I'm a trusting soul

Yeh, I'm a trusting soul
