I guess I'm just a fool
But woh no babe
They don't teach this shit in school
I can't quite see your love for me
When you stop and drop me, then take me back, see
Then I think I shouldn't leave it up to you
Coz the things that you do, you don't seem to have a clue
I always take you back and I don't know why
That I die
When I see you with another boy
I do try to ignore it but my memory stores it
I really deplore it
You took my heart and tore it out of my chest
I know you love me the best
But you be trying to make me jealous
When you're seeing all of them fellas
I guess I'm just a fool, but they don't teach this shit in school
I still think your cool
Baby you're the queen and I'm the king
And when you sing you bring spring to this winter king
And tis not no fling, coz I'm under your wing
And I'm staying put, I'm not in a rut
I've got a feeling in my gut
About ya, I've got reason to doubt ya
But I don't know what I'd do without ya
Your eyes shine like the sunshine
And your lips are like fine wine
And now they're all mine
And we dine down by the blue sea
It's as pleasant as can be and you're so gentle with me
So give me your hand and we'll make love on the sand
At the edge of our land, on the strand
Banish my blues far away, whack fol de dee dow
Banish my blues far away
Banish my blues far away, whack fol de dee daw
I guess I'm just a fool, but woh no babe
Banish my blues away
They don't teach this shit in school.
