Wake Up

(album: Don't Play Me Cheap - 1963)

A fool in love is all I'll ever be
Cause I keep letting him make a fool out out of me
No need to deny it when every word is true
It's got the best of me so tell me what should I do?

(You should wake up!
And try to get wise, cause' a fool in love never keeps their pride
You believe one loves you right at first sight
But after they get you they'll never treat you right)

No one ever loves me or seems to care
I've been a fool to long, it never gets me nowhere
One-sided loves is all I ever get
It's never too long before it makes me regret

(Then you should wake up!)
Yeah!
(And try to get wise, cause a fool in love never keeps their pride
You believe one loves you, right at first sight
But after they get-cha they'll never treat you right)

Um... I hear what you say but you should see what I do!
No one really knows just what I've been through
Everyone I loved you know it ended in vain
I think it's 'bout time that I make a change!

(Yes you should wake up!
And try to get wise, cause' a fool in love never keeps their pride
You believe one loves you right at first sight
But after they get-cha they'll never treat you right)

Why won't they?
(Treat you right)
I know they won't!
They never, never, never, never, never treat me right
I know they won't?
They never treat me right!
What's the matter with me?
Why won't they treat me right?
I know...
(Treat you right...)
