Sam Cooke - Fool's Paradise Lyrics
I often think off the life I've led
And oh, it's a wonder I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise
Said my child, it'll all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise
Though I've learned my lesson
Like all fools I've met
Oh, I've learned things in this life
That I haven't forgotten yet
My father told me, Mother said it right
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise
Oh, yeah, living in a fool's paradise

Sam Cooke Fool's Paradise Comments
He wrote these lyrics for a reason lol
Soulful blues at its finest sang by the Master! Makes Frank Sinatra sound like a novice. And I like Sinatra
Lindell Patterson Sinatra was not even in the same universe as Sam was.
Great song to listen to after losing money gambling
Love Mr Soul his music so iconic he lived he left a legacy of music soul miss him a lot through wasn't born till 80's

Qué belleza de voz! Sam Cooke, único e incomparable! Una elegancia, sensualidad y expresividad raras. Nunca superado y musicalmente eterno.

Ótima musicas americanas,gostosas de se ouvir e lembrar os velhos tempos.
right said uncle sam i miss you mr velvet voice
I agree 100%
WOW---What a glorious voice!
Amazing sounds & so,so good.
@Vel Omarr no idea whatsoever. Ignorance is the only thing that comes to mind.. I mean, even Justin beiber has a movie! Shocking stuff
we all live in a fools Paradise till we see that paradise is just state of mind becuse we spend most of our lives listin to a other fools advice. Rip Sam your voice was not meant to be among foolish men . but all real ppl honer you
all signs point to a setup for sams death....reports were that he was not dead when shot but was finished off with blows to the head...you dont say no to the mob but sam did and paid the price
more like maybe the record company's who all had mob ties.
nah man he was killed in a hotel
Just got through watching a documentary on Sam. It's funny how this song was the very way he did. He was drinkin' and gamblin' when he met lisa boyer who later, at the Hacienda Hotel
stole his pants while he went into the restroom. This made Sam angry and when he discovered she wasn't in the motel room, he rushed to the place next door where he'd heard a knock. The hotel manager told him she wasn't in their. He rushed in, and was later shot.
So they say
he has a very nice voice :)
This song ME!
