Lyrics for A Fool for You
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 I know that you had a big ol' man right there In an apartment way across town And I know it's something Oooo, 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 and feel your pillow-uh Where that lil' fine fox 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 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 lowdown dirty fool for you, mama
