People let me tell you all about my father
He was known as the meanest, baddest love maker in town
The man had a reputation for shuckin' and jivin' all the women
Breaking their hearts, lord, and leavin' them cryin'
He told me "Hon, let me give you some advice
You ought to remember for the rest of your life"
He told me to find em', fool em', forget em'
Yeah yeah yeah
Find em', fool em', forget em'
Yeah yeah yeah
Whoa, but I didn't listen to what my father told me
And I went off and gave my heart to you, boy
And then you walked on me
You misused me
And finally you broke my poor heart in two
The way you treated me, lord, I wouldn't treat a dog
You didn't even show me any mercy at all
I wish I had found you
Fooled you
Forgot you
Like my daddy said
I wish I had found you
I could have fooled you
And then forgot you
Yeah yeah yeah
Daddy said "Find em', fool em', forget em'"
Yeah yeah yeah
Find em' fool em' forget em'
Yeah yeah yeah
