Fool Me Again

(Album: Standing Room Only - 2023)

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 old Whitley song hurts
But I still sing it

Oh, and I not know if you come back, you ain't gonna stay
So if you do, I'm gonna let you anyway

Fool me again, I can take it
And un-break my heart just so you can break it
And guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool
Playing those sad songs and playing your fool?
Me again
Oh, yeah

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 morning
But, baby, I still want it

Fool me again, I can take it
And un-break my heart just so you can break it
And guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool
Playing those sad songs and playing your fool?
Me again, oh yeah
Won't you fool me again?

Oh, the whiskey and the Whitley
And the habits that'll kick me
Gonna get me almost over you

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
Playing them sad songs and playing your fool?
'Til you fool me again
Oh, won't you fool me again?
