Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love, what have you done? Oh, wow
I was sure, up till now, that she was a friend
I stayed till the end
(Don't be a fool again)
[Verse 2]
I once believed that love was fair
But I don't anymore, she said I'm a bore
My heart hit the floor
(Don't be a fool again)
[Verse 3]
Each time around, I tell myself it's the game of love
Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love
Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it to the end, I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool) Said, I don't want to be a fool ever again
[Verse 4]
Whenever a fool's in love, he doesn't know he's to blame
He's caught in the game, it always ends up the same
(He doesn't feel the shame)
He looks at love in a different way, it breaks his heart every time
They all turn estranged, but he'll never change
(He's never gonna change)
[Verse 5]
Next time around, I'll tell myself it'll be better than before, ooh, yeah
I won't look back, there'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore
I've just decided I can't let nobody fool me again
So I'll swear to the end, I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool) Said, I don't want to be a fool ever again
[Verse 6]
(No way) I mean, no more (Never again), ooh, I'll never
(I can't be free) Can't be, no way
No way, no way, ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool, no
(I can't love anybody walking on a one-way street)
I can't love, oh, nobody, anyway, anyway, anyway, no
(If I do find somebody, that'll be alright with me)
If I don't, somebody, baby, I know, I know, it'll be alright
'Cause I've decided not to let nobody kill me again
So I'll say it to the end, I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)
Said, I don't want to be a fool never, never again
(Don't want to be a fool)
[Verse 7]
(Don't want to be a fool) Can't be a fool, no
(Don't want to be a fool) Ever again
(I don't want to be a fool) Never, no, never, no, never again
(Don't want to be a fool) Can't be a fool
