Well, ever since I met you, babe, see you've been running around
Spendin' my hard earned money on any ol' man in town
I've been your fool, oh, I've been your fool
I've been a fool ever since, mama, I met you
Now I got something to you, mama, I ain't gonna say no lie
Ain't gonna stand no runnin' around, don't wanna hear no alibi
I've been your fool, oh, I've been your fool
I've been a fool ever since, mama, I met you
You've taken everything I had, you hurt me deep inside
Money wasn't good enough, you had to take my pride
I've been your fool, oh, I've been your fool
I've been a fool ever since, mama, I met you
Oh, I've been a fool, baby, yes, I have
Now I've got something to tell you, fine mama, I ain't gonna say no lie
Ain't gonna stand no runnin' around, don't wanna hear no alibi
I've been your fool, oh, I've been your fool
I've been a fool ever since, mama, I met you
You've taken everything I had, babe, you hurt me deep inside
Money wasn't good enough, you had to take my pride
I've been your fool, oh, I've been your fool
I've been a fool ever since, mama, I met you
