Lyrics

Oh, it takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you
I really did it to myself, I guess
I saw you standing in that cocktail dress
Oh, call the press and say my life is a mess
Because I must confess to you
That it takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you
Fool me once, and it's shame on you
Twice, it's shame on me
But fool me, baby, for the rest of my life
And I'll be happy, happy as a broken man can be
'Cause it takes a fool (Fool), it takes a fool (Fool)
It takes a fool to love you
Oh, and I'm just the fool for you
Oh, now I'm just the fool for you
I'm just the fool for you
I'm just the fool for you
I'm just the fool for you
I'm just the fool for you
I'm just the fool for you
