Lyrics

I know you told me
Such a long time ago
That you didn't want me
You didn't love me no more
I wanna know
Oh, what makes me be
Do you believe me, child?
A fool for you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, no, I'm a fool for you
I know you told me
You didn't want me 'round
And I know
You got a man way 'cross town
So, I know it's something
Oh, what makes me be
Do you believe me, child?
I'm a fool for you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm a fool for you
Did you ever wake up in the morning
Ah just about the break o' day
Reach over and feel the pillow, hmm-hmm-hmm
Where your baby used to lay?
Then you put on your crying
Like you never cried before
Oh, lord
Yeah, you'll even cry so loud
You'll give the blues to your neighbor next door
Ever since you were five years old, baby
I been a fool for you, little girl
Way down in my soul, babe
I'm a little fool for you
So, I know it's something
Ah-ah-ah, oh, lord, yeah
I'm a fool for you
Oh-oh-oh, I'm a fool for you
