My baby came home last night And she looked at me real cool She said, "Albert, you ain't nothin' but a overgrown fool, I'm gonna leave you, gonna leave you behind." I said, " Baby I'm gonna tell you, that a good fool is hard to find." Now, baby if you leave me, it would hurt me to my soul I just can't understand why baby, any woman could be so cold But a good fool, a good fool, is hard to find Take a lesson from me baby A good fool is hard to find The last time you left me, I didn't have much to lose You left me with nothin' woman But a pair of thin-sole shoe But a good fool, a good fool is hard to find Take a lesson from me baby A good fool is hard to find Now listen to me baby, I think you should be told When they made yo' daddy Somebody went an broke the mold A good fool, a good fool is hard to find You take the lesson from me woman A good fool is hard to find
