Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Call me a fool

Call me a fool

A heart forlorn

A heart that's scorned

A new love born

[Verse 2]

Thought I had it under control, yeah (Thought I had it under control, yeah)

But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul, yeah (Grabbed my soul, yeah)

Heard it pounding, knocking on the door, yeah (Oh)

When I knew I had to let it go

[Verse 3]

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

But it's a power keeps me holding on (Keeps me holding on)

[Verse 4]

Yeah, they call me a fool

Darlin', they call me a fool

For your love, baby

And I'll be a fool any time

And I'll be a fool any time, any time for loving you

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

So they call me a fool

Call me a fool

For your love, baby

And I'll be a fool any time

And I'll be a fool any time, any time for loving you

[Verse 7]

So you can call me a fool

Call me a fool

For your love, baby

And I'll be a fool any time

And I'll be a fool any time, any time for loving you

[Verse 8]

Da di da di da da

Da di da di da da

Da di da di da da

Da di da da

Da di da da

[Verse 9]

So you can call me a fool

Call me a fool

For your love, baby

And I'll be a fool any time

And I'll be a fool any time, any time for loving you

[Verse 10]

Thought I had it under control, yeah
