Fool To Cry

(album: Black And Blue - 1976)

When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she said
"Daddy what's wrong?"
She whispered in my ear so sweet
You know what she said?
She said

"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."

Daddy, you're a fool"

You know, I got a woman
(Daddy, you're a fool)
And she live in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She said, "Tell me all your troubles."
You know what she said? she said

"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."

Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah

She said, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."

She said, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
I make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."

I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby

I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
Come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
