I know it won't be long until I hear from you You'll be back as soon as you have lost with someone new Giving me the run around the way you always do Begging for another chance to prove your love is true And like a fool I'll take you back again knowing all heartaches will start again And my tears will fall like rain again And like a fool I'll let you make a fool of me again I stopped counting long ago the times you made me blue You can never change the way you are the things you do You cheat and lie with every kiss and break my heart in two Making promises of love that never do come true And like a fool Like a fool I'll let you make a fool of me again
