I know you told me
Such a long time ago
Yeah, and I know
You said you don't want me no more

I want to know
Oh baby, pretty baby child
What makes me a fool for you

I know you told me
You didn't want me around
Yeah, and I know
You've got a man way across town

So I know it's something, pretty baby
That makes me a fool for you

Did you ever wake up in the morning
Just about the break of day
And reach over and feel your pillow
Where your baby used to lay

Then you put on your crying
Like you never cried before
Then you cry so loud
You get the blues to your neighbor next door
Ever since you were five years old
I've been a fool for you, little girl
Way down in my soul
I'm a little fool for you
So I know it's something
I'm a fool for you
