Pum, pum, pum
A-doo, doo-doo
Pum, pum, pum
A-doo, doo-doo
I'm a fool for you, baby
That's what it takes to get in your mind
I'm a fool for you, baby
It takes a fool to spellbind
I've been through every fanaticism
Politics, God and vandalism
A fool for you, baby
I can't play it cool
I'm a fool for you, baby
I know I'm a fool
Gonna sing to you my foolish song
And it goes
Dum-dum-did, a-didi-dum-dum
A-dum-dum-didi, dum-didi-dum-dum
If the words come out wrong
At least she's not alone
A-doom-dum-didi-le
I'm a fool for you, baby
Don't you break my heart
I'd jump off the Staten Island ferry
Won't be no one left for you to bury
Call me up, I'll be there in a hurry
Whoa, yeah
Baby, I'm a fool for you
Yeah, you're the one that changed my mind
I'm a fool a fool for you, baby
I won't kiss you all the time
A-didi-dum-didi, a-did-dum-dum
A-dum-dum-didi-didi
Dum-did, a-didi-dum-dum
Dum-didi, a-didi-dum-dum, yeah
I'm a fool a fool for you, baby
That's just the way it goes
Yeah, I'm a fool for you, baby
That's the song I composed
