I know you told me, long time ago

That you didn't want me, yeah

You didn't love me no more

But I know it was something, oh, that made me blue

But believe me, child, I've been a fool for you

I've been a big fool for you

I know you told me, yeah

You didn't want me around

And don't you have a big old man right there

In a port, man, away across town

And I know it's something that makes me blue

Believe me child, I've been a fool for you

I've been a fool for you

Now did you ever wake up in the morning

Just about the break of day, yeah, uh

Reach over an feel your pillow, wow wow wow wow wow

Where that lil fine f*** used to lay

Ever since I was 5 years old, baby

I've been a ... a fool for you

Way down, deep down in my soul, oh

I've been a fool for you

Well I know it's something, oh, what makes me blue

Believe me child, I've been a fool for you

I've been a fool for you

I've been a fool for you

I've been a fool for you

I've been a fool for you

I've been just so bad, yeah

I've been just so bad

You don't know what you're doing to me

Well, I just can't understand, yeah

No no no, baby, yeah

I've been a fool for you honey now

I've been a great big fool for you, baby

A fool for you mama...
