"Call Me A Fool" is written by Valerie June. “African Proverb” is read by Carla Thomas.
“Have you ever been a fool for a dream? It might have been a little dream like a kiss from a lover or a big one like the dream of peace that Dr. King, John Lennon, and so many others have had for humanity. No matter how big or how small your dream may be, keep believing, and let the world call you a fool!” - Valerie June
Produced by Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, John Legend) and Valerie June, "The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers" is sweeping and ambitious with earthy R&B production and a touch of psychedelia amidst its astral folk-pop orchestration, the pair arrived at a sound that is elegant and endlessly surprising. At the center is June’s spellbinding vocals and infectious sense of wonder that finds the Brooklyn-via-Memphis artist narrating the often precarious journey to joyful possibility.
Lyrics:
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
A heart forlorn
A heart that’s scorned
A new love born
Thought I had it under control
But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul
Heard it knocking pound on the door
When I knew I had to let it go
Don’t you know I wish that I could help it
Don’t you know I wish that I could forget
But this new love is so strong that
It’s a power keeps me holding on
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you
I’ve been wishing things had been different
But I guess the cards, they fall the way they're meant
Win or lose or draw you play the hand you’re sent
Beggar, Borrower, Given, Taken, Lent
I’ve been drinking, staying drunk all day
Got me creeping, but it’s not late at night
Got my life twisted, turned it upside down
Just a fool to hang around
Call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you
You call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you
You call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you
Thought I had it under control
