You say that it's over this time for good
But this time around you know that I wish that you would
Not call me on the phone, I need to get used to being alone
And now you tell me you want me to be your friendBut don't you know I'll be your fool again?You say now you're gone and you won't be back
But this time around I'm just a little bit smarter than that
Just 'cause you've packed your bags
That doesn't mean that you won't return
That's the lesson I learned the last time I let you back inDon't you know I'll be your fool again?
Don't you know I'll be your fool again?My friends tell me that they doubt it
When I tell them I can learn to live without it
They say it's a game that I can't win, ohYou say you found a new man and he treats you fine
You say he brings you flowers and bottles of cheap red wine
You say you like the way he wears his hair
But don't you know I wouldn't care if you ever walk out on himDon't you know I'll be your fool again?
Don't you know I'll be your fool again?
Don't you know I'll be your fool again?
