Lyrics
Sometimes a girl will come and go
You reach for love, but life won't let you know
That in the end, you'll still be lovin' her
But then she's gone, you're all alone
Sign of pain is on my face
Well, my heartbeat stops, but I won't take the blame, no, no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong, somethin' went wrong, no
(It takes a fool) Yes, sir (to learn)
(That love don't love nobody) Love, love, love, love, love, love
(It takes a fool) Yes it does, girl (to learn)
(That love don't love no one) That love don't love no one
(It takes a fool to learn) Stop to think about it, well
(That love don't love nobody) Oh, oh, no
(It takes a fool to learn) When you're down and out, shout about it
(That love don't love no one) Tell the world, ooh-wee, ah
(It takes a fool to learn) Gotta be more careful about myself
(That love don't love nobody)
(It takes a fool to learn) Woah, baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
(That love don't love no one)
(It takes a fool to learn) I was a fool, you were a fool
(That love don't love nobody) Now we got love, now we need lovin'
(It takes a fool to learn) Oh, baby, oh, baby oh, baby, I love you now
