I'm A Fool To Want You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time
When I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back
I love you
Pity me
I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along without you
I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool
