Lyrics

I pity the fool

Whoa, I pity the fool

Yeah, I pity the fool

Hey, I pity the fool that falls in love with you

And expects you to be true

Oh, I pity that fool

Look at the people

I know you wonder what they're doing

They're just standing there

Watching you make a fool of me

Look at the people

I know you wonder what they're doing

They're just standing there

Watching you make a fool of me

Oh, I pity the fool

Hey, I pity the fool

Oh, I pity the fool

I pity the fool

That falls in love with you

He'll break your heart one day

Then he'll laugh

And be on his merry way

That's why I pity the fool

Look at the people

I know you wonder what they're doing

They're just standing there

Watching you make a fool of me

Look at the people

I know you wonder what they're doing

They're just standing there

Watching you make a fool of me

I pity the fool

I say I pity the fool

Whoa, I pity the fool

I pity that give her heart to you

He'll take your love away

Till he find another fool to play

That's why I pity the fool

Look at the people

I know you wonder what they're doing

They're wondering whose life next will you ruin
