Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Went to my doctor yesterday

She said I seem to be okay

She said, "Paul, you better look around

How long you think that you can run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can do what you been doin'?

Who, now who you foolin'?"

[Verse 2]

I came back home and I went to bed

I was resting my head

My wife came in and she said

"What's wrong? Sweet boy, what's wrong?"

I told her what's wrong

[Verse 3]

I said, "Peg you better look around

How long you think that you can run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can do what you been doin'?

Who, now who you foolin'?

Who you foolin'?

Who you foolin'?"

[Verse 4]

Kid, you better look around

How long you think that you can run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can do what you been doin'?

Who, now who you foolin'?

Who you foolin'?

Who you foolin'?

Who you foolin'?

Who you foolin', yeah?
