I've been standin here, for oh so long 
Tryin to figure out girl, where we went wrong 
Standin here, on the edge of time 
Waitin for you, baby 
I might change your mind, but 

Maybe I'm a fool, still lovin you 
Oh, and maybe I'm wrong, for still hangin on 

'Cause you and me took the love so far 
Had a beautiful thing that somehow went wrong 
A whole lotta laughs have turned into tears 
Turn your head around, we've been through some years, and 

Maybe I'm a fool, and maybe you're right 
But I'll never really change, and I don't want to fight 

You say, No, no, no, no
You keep sayin No, not now 
I say, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
You keep no, no, no, no 
But I can't let you go now baby 
You got mad, I got mad, don't we really care... 

Well now, maybe I'm a fool 
Still lovin you 
Oh, and maybe I'm wrong 
'Cause I'm still hangin on, and 

Maybe I'm a fool 
And maybe you're right 
But I'll never really change, and I don't want to fight 

Maybe maybe, baby baby I'm a fool 
Maybe maybe maybe I should stop lovin you 
Huh, maybe I'm a fool, still lovin you 
Oh, maybe I'm wrong, for still hangin on, I say 

Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Woah-oh 

I want to say again 

Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Woah-oh
