Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I come home, baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee
And she say, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
She whisper in my ear so sweet
You know what she say?
She say
[Chorus]
"Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry"
And it makes me wonder why
"Daddy, you're a fool"
[Verse 2]
You know
I got a woman ("Daddy, you're a fool")
And she live in the poor part of town
When I go see her sometimes
We make love so fine
I put my hand on her shoulder
She say, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she say?
She say
[Chorus]
"Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry"
And it makes me wonder why
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry"
[Bridge]
Oh, I love you so much, baby ("Daddy, you're a fool to cry")
Make me wanna sigh sometime, yeah ("Daddy, you're a fool to cry")
[Chorus]
Yeah, she say
"Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry"
And it makes me wonder why
[Verse 3]
She say
"Ooh-hoo, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Ooh-hoo, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Ooh-hoo, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Ooh-hoo, daddy, you're a fool to cry"
[Verse 4]
Even my friends say to me sometimes
I make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say
[Chorus]
"Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry"
And it makes me wonder why
[Outro]
I'm a fool, baby, ah yeah, yeah
I'm a fool, baby, ah yeah
I'm a certified fool, ah yeah, yeah, yes
Want, want to tell ya
I'm tellin' you, babe, oh no
My mistake, yeah
I'm a fool, babe, ah, ah, yeah
Whoo!
Certified fool, babe, my, my, ah yeah
Come on
Yeah
I'm a fool
Yeah
I'm a fool, yes
I'm a fool
