Man, be careful with a fool
You know, someday he may get smart
Man, be careful with a fool
You know, someday he may get smart
He will treat you so cool and chilly
Till he hurt you to your heart
Yeah, you know hate to remember
Oh, what a fool I used to be
Man, I hate to remember
How foolish I used to be
The way I used to love you, baby
How bad it's gonna be
You know, I used to cry 'bout you, baby!
You know, I'd-a walk the streets a-late at night
Used to cry about ya
A-walk the streets, a-late at night
If you love me just a little bit, baby,
Why in the world don't you treat me right?
Uh, fin'lly over, baby
Whoa, I believe this is the end, ah, ah, yeah, well!
Fin'lly over, baby
Oh, I believe this-a is the end, ah
I want to tell you my baby
To forgive me for my sin
