Only a Fool

Well, baby what ya trying to prove
By beinalone
And no one can get through to you
Is there anyone home?
CHORUS:
So don't say that it's love you lacked
I paid the price now we're paying the tax
I gave it all, and I got nothing back
Only a fool gives a heart like that
Well, I said that you never gave enough
And I know this is true
I see now that you never gave it up
So you'd have nothing to lose
REPEAT CHORUS
I know that I need you
And that made you scared
If I'd known how to reach you
But I'm giving up, it's too late to care
Well, I guess that it's really over now
This is where I belong
And baby you know it's kind of funny how
All the tears made me strong
REPEAT CHORUS
