I'd rather be lucky than smart
When it comes to affairs of the heart
For reasons I'd rather not go into now
'Cause they always make me feel foolish somehow
And since love has never made sense from the start
I'd rather be lucky than smart

I would rather be a fool than a bore
I would rather play the game than keep score
'Cause the winning and losing's not the main thing for me
It's the thrill of the chase
     that keeps this spirit running free
It's the top of the mountain or that far distant shore
Yes, I'd rather be a fool than a bore

Well purity is hard to find
Security that was left behind
There's sure to be some strange days
     waiting round the next corner
Courtesy is a state of mind
For those of us that are so inclined
And that blur you see is simply time passing me by

I would rather be loved than abused
It depends on the partners we choose
Yes, of course, I will escort you,
     you back to your room
And if you care for some company
I'm sure I can sing that tune
But I prefer ragtime to singing the blues
Cause I'd rather be loved than abused
And since love has never made sense from the start
I'd rather be lucky than smart
