Nothin' But A Fool

(album: Happy Love - 1981)

So what do you think
Maybe he'll buy you a drink
And run his fingers through your hair
Apologize for having to stare
But he's never seen such a face
What's it doing in such a place
Says he knows a little spot
That he thinks you'll like a lot
So he takes you in his car
[Background repeats] (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Says it isn't far
And you end up at his home
Ah, but you knew that's where you were going
And he turns his stereo on
Makes you feel like you belong
And you end up in his bed
You're great was all he said
[Chorus:]
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothing but a fool
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
If you think he cares
Yeah, yeah
So he lights a cigarette
[Background repeats:] (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Turns on the tv set
And you just want to be held for a while
He don't even wanna smile
So you try to tell a joke
He just lights another smoke
It's getting colder in that bed
You're great was all he said
Background repeats chorus
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
You silly fool
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothing but great big fool
If you think he cares
You're nothing but a fool, yes you
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
If you think he cares
[Musical Interlude]
Just a silly fool, ha
Never thought it would happen to you
Oh, ho, ho, ho
[Background repeats] (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Now you'd really love stay
But he says he's got a busy day
And he'll call you tomorrow night
You make sure he's got your number right
He gives you money for a cab ride home
Suddenly you're all alone
Waiting for his call
And you're staring at the wall
Ah, you're nothing but a fool
[Background repeats chorus]
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothing but a fool
Silly fool, ha
You never thought it would happen to you
(You're nothing but a fool)
If you think that he wants you
Oh you're nothing but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothing but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothing but a fool
If you think he cares
You're nothing but a fool...
