No One's Gonna Be A Fool Forever (UK Release Track)

(album: Thelma Houston - 1972)

Darling..
You know you've got the cruelest streak
You only say you love just to
Keep me weak
Your loving words are falling on my deaf ears
I'm leaving... I'll face the tears
You know that

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say goodbye

Beautiful plans are hard to forget
You promised me a family
A little girl with braids skipping
Off to school
A part of you and me will never be
You know that

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say goodbye

No one's gona be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say goodbye

Darling
I'm leaving you, but with regrets
I turned to the right cause you know you went left
You had me apologize for things
I didn't do
To keep my self-respect
I'm leaving you
You know that

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say goodbye
