I pity the fool
Whoa, I pity the fool
Yeah, I pity the fool
Hey, I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
And expects you to be true
Oh, I pity that fool
Look at the people
I know you wonder
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you wonder
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
Hey, I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool
I pity the fool
That falls in love with you
He'll break your heart one day
Then he'll laugh and
Be on his merry way
That's why I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you wonder
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you wonder
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
I pity the fool
I say I pity the fool
Whoa, I pity the fool
I pity that give her heart to you
He'll take your love away
Till he find another fool to play
That's why I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you wonder
What they're doing
They're wondering
Whose life next will you ruin
