You don't know me but I know who you are Mind if I sit down Do I look familiar if I don't well I should I'm sure you've seen me around I know you've probably heard my name Though we've not been introduced I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink I've got something to say It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep I heard him call out your name This ain't the first time he's done it before And it's hard to face the truth I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you I know love is a fragile thing And I'm trying hard to make it last But it ain't easy holding on to my dream When he's holding on to the past Just one more thing before I go I'm not here to put you down You don't love him and that's a fact Girl I've seen you around But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand And it's breaking mine in two 'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you
