Lyrics for That Fool Was Me

Sometimes I feel like a newborn babe Without a mama's arms to hold him tightly, Chilled to the bone And knowing there'll Never be no place I can call my own And you came my way. Like a summer's day You warm the very cockles of my soul. Squeaky and clean But totally blind to what makes a man stand tall. Please don't need me to be untrue 'Cause when you do I feel blue. Please don't feed me the way you do 'Cause, mama, I'll be bigger than you. Everybody get out my way, I got something to say. You take your time and you blow my mind. There's something about you, baby, And they all agree. There I go, I sing it sweet and low, Only a fool would leave you And that fool was me. In every hope there's a heartache baby Rising from the broken mind that can't let go, But then there's a rise, Potentially Someone that I would give until I die. What can you do? The damage is done, Sticking out like a sore thumb. It's time to move on When I take the train whose destination Is dysfunction junction. Please don't need me to be untrue 'Cause when you do I feel blue. Please don't feed me the way you do 'Cause, mama, I'll be bigger than you. Everybody get out my way, I got something to say. You take your time and you blow my mind. There's something about you, baby, And they all agree. But there I go, I sing it sweet and low, Only a fool would leave you And that fool was me. That fool was me. We're finally free.
