[Verse 1]
Tell me lies, slap me on the face
Just improvise, do something really clever
That'll make me hate your name forever
You might swear you'd never youch a lady
Well, let me say you're not too far from maybe
Every day you find new ways to hurt me
[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Til the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ah, ah, ah, ah ...fool!
[Verse 2]
God resigned from hearing my old story
Every night I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarra**ed but I'm much more sorry
All this pain begins to feel like pleasure
With more tears you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds and I'll keep saying "Thank you"
[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Til the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ah, ah, ah, ah ...fool!
[Instrumental breakdown]
[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Til the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ah, ah, ah, ah ...fool!
I can't help it, baby ...fool!
I can't help it, baby ...fool!
I can't help it, baby ...fool!
I can't help it, baby, baby ...fool!
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
