The Doobie Brothers Lyrics
“What A Fool Believes”

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don’t see
Tryin’ hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him…

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there’s a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There’s nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees…

Yah Mo B There
Song by Michael McDonald / James Ingram

Heavenly Father watchin’ us fall
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well, it’s a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So, if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name, His name
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Whenever you call
Never be lonely, lost in the night
Just run from the darkness, lookin’ for the light
‘Cause it’s a long, hard road
That leads to a brighter day, hey
Don’t let your heart grow cold
Just reach out and call His name, His name
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah will be there
You can count on it, brother
‘Cause we’re all just finding our way
Travelin’ through time
People got to keep pushin’ on
No matter how many dreams slip away
Yah will be there
Well, it’s a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So, when your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name
Just call His name
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there
Yah-mo be there

I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)
Song by Michael McDonald

I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin’ how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin’
Everytime you’re near
Everytime I see you smile
Hear your “hello”
Saying you can only stay a while
And I know that it’s hard for you
To say the things that we both know are true
But tell me how come
I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin’ how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin’, babe
Every time I hear
How you never want to live a lie
How it’s gone too far
And you don’t have to tell me why
Why you’re gone and why the game is through
If this is what’s real, if this is what’s true
Tell me how come
I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore (baby)
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin’ how you made that so clear (yeah, yeah)
I keep forgettin’
Don’t say that, don’t say that, don’t say that
I know you’re not mine anymore, anyway, anytime
Tell me how come
I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore (how come I)
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin’ how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin’ (baby)
Every time you’re near (I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore)
Every time you’re near (I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again)
Oh baby (I keep forgettin’ how you made that so clear)
Every time you’re near (I keep forgettin’)

Michael McDonald & Buika Lyrics
“You Belong To Me”

Why’d you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction?
What do you need to know?
Don’t you know that I’ll always be the one

You don’t have to prove to me
You’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got loving eyes
Of my own

Baby, you belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any who could see
Who you need
‘Cause I know

You don’t have to prove to me
You’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got loving eyes
Of my own

You belong to me
You belong to me, baby
You belong to me
You belong to me, baby

You belong to me
You belong to me, baby
You belong to me
You belong to me, baby

You belong to me
You belong to me, baby
You belong to me
You belong to me, baby

Sheba, I just scored some heat, yay! Hubs just turned it up for me. It’s been cold and rainy.
We need the rain. The Cat and Penguin were really adorable. All of the pictures are so nice to see. Maybe you need a trip somewhere warm, Hawaii? Someone, I am acquainted with went to a warm location on the Eastern side and never checked about safety. She said they go almost every year since they are from the East Coast. When I asked about the State Dept warnings or the spiked drinks, she was a blank (she had no idea). It all worked out well for her but she did say it’s too far now and she hopes to find somewhere else to visit. Did your neighbor enjoy the FL Keys? It’s a place I would like to see someday. Hope she feels better soon. I have heard the flu is worse than Covid this year.
Regarding bets, my thoughts were along the lines of who cooks for a week, cleans for a week etc… I wouldn’t know about online either. Sorry I wasn’t very clear.

Oodie, Hope you feel better soon. Those food allergies sound scary.

Hi in snowy Oz.❄❄ I am hoping your power is on and you can at least keep warm. We had a little bit of everything today. Huge snowflakes this morning for a few minutes, wind and a peek of sun this afternoon and now a light rain that I hope doesn’t turn into freezing rain.

Hubs is feeling a little better today, I still feel okay so keeping my fingers crossed.🤞

Sending prayers and thoughts your way for SIL and the family.🙏😌

Not much else happening which is a good thing. Sunshine hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

The GIF yesterday of the cat with the baby seal stole my heart. So cute.

I am home today. It’s me with the Pepto. Yesterday, on my way to visit hubby, I made a detour to Culver’s. I picked up two vanilla double scoops of frozen custard. One was plain, the other with fudge. I also ordered a salad for me. Hubby had just finished dinner and reached for the custard with the fudge. He loved every morsel. I proceeded to eat the salad. It was excellent or so I thought. It was loaded with raisins. Less than an hour later I felt awful. Thought I was coming down with the flu. I left immediately. Didn’t even spend more than an hour. Tried to rush home, but all eight lights were red and one took over 20 minutes for a train to pass. I made it. Finally realized that I was having a sulfite attack and thus the Pepto along with allergy pills. I checked on the raisins and found that they are one of the worse for sulfite reactions. It is also known to be a killer in some instances. Never thought that sulfites could be a killer. Then, again, Strawberries are on the very top of the list for me. Have doctor appointments next month. Guess it is time to get an EpiPen just in case. Not sure if I will see hubby today. Not pushing.

Your professor friend is in Florida??? Flu and Covid are going around. I hope she is feeling better so she can return home asap. Nice hot soup is always a good cure, especially when you add veggies. I will be doing that shortly.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California enjoy this day Kitten. I am always thinking of you. 💕🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎😘🎈Lady how is your husband doing?

I know your hands are full right now.

Glad your mother is doing better. I called my mom and got one of her recipes.

Oz is frozen with snow and I think it is coming your way.

I am keeping an eye on my friend across the street she has a bad case of bronchitis.
So the winter illness are going around for sure.

Hey sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😎💕😘

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope you are nice and warm. 🎈😎
I love you and hubby taking a nice cool walk.

Poppy and I did a very short walk today we could not get far.
Hubs took him in the back yard and we let him run free. 😎💕

Hey my friend enjoy the warm trails. 🎈

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf of Florida. 😎💕🎈Oodie I hope you are feeling well.
Oz is a mess today with everything closed down.

I am making soup and sandwiches for hubby and I.

Mr. Poppy is having fun in the backyard. LOL! 💕

Let me know how you are doing today if you have time.

@xango,

Good Afternoon in Florida enjoy your beautiful weather. 😎💕Oz is 18 degrees right now
with a ton of snow. No worries hubby has done the driveway and the sidewalk. We also
helped my friend across the street she has bronchitis real bad.

The Professor went to Key West Florida and a few days later got very ill. I am keeping an
eye on her as she lives alone.

Thinking of you. 😎
