David Allan Coe
Fool Inside of Me
I let you see a side of me
That I could not control
The weakest side I tried to hide
Inside my tortured soul
Tell myself the time has come
To end this misery

That I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me
No I can't lie and say I wish I'd never seen your face
No I can't lie and say nobody else could ever take your place
I could pretend you're just a friend in need to sympathy
But I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me

A passing glance a warm hello
Soon tore down the wall
I let you pick me up enough
To have a place to fall
I wish that I could say your tried to love me faithfully
But I can't lie to satisfy the fool inside of me
No I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me
