I'm just a fool who really loves you
There is no greater fool than me
You told me lies and I believed you
How big a fool can you be

I close my eyes when people tell me
They saw you kissin' someone new
I just won't let my heart believe it
I'm just a fool in love with you

Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too may be

Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'
I'll give the world to make you mine

Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too, you too may be

Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'
I'll give the world to make you mine
