[Verse 1]
You'd think that by now, I'd learn
This whiskey's gonna burn
But I still drink it
And with every damn word
This ol' Whitley song hurts
But I still sing it

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I know if you come back, you ain't gonna stay
But if you do, I'm gonna let you anyway

[Chorus]
Fool me again, I can take it
And unbreak my heart just so you can break it
Guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool
Playin' them sad songs and playin' your fool?
Me again

[Verse 2]
We know what happens next
When that 2 AM text
Says "call me" and I can't ignore it
I know that you next to me
Leads to cold, empty sheets
In the mornin', but baby, I still want it
[Chorus]
Fool me again, I can take it
And unbreak my heart just so you can break it
Guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool
Playin' them sad songs and playin' your fool?
Me again

[Bridge]
Whoa, the whiskey and the Whitley
And the habits that'll kick me
Gonna get me almost over you

[Chorus]
Until you fool me again, I'm gonna let you
Walk right back into my life for one night and re-wreck it
Guess who's still hooked on this stool
Playin' them sad songs and playin' your fool?
Me again
Oh, fool me again
