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
