I was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
but i don't care even
if i was a fool
i'm still in love with you.
had i listened to the grapevine,
i might have had my doubts.
but i did my level best
just to block them out.
cause love is so unwise
and love has no eyes,
and it took a while
for a fool to see
what his friends were on about.
I was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
but i don't care even
if i was a fool
i'm still in love with you.
imagining your face,
it almost fills
the empty space before me.
i can see your eyes
and almost hear your lovely lies.
I wish i was an old man
and love was through with me.
i wish i was a baby on my mama's knee.
i wish i was a freight train
moving down the line,
just keeping track of time
without all these memories
I was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care,
but i don't care even
if i was a fool
i'm still in love with you, babe, yes, i am.
i could have opened my eyes,
i could have seen through your lies,
i could have stood for no more,
i could have walked out the door.
But i was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care.
but i was a fool to care,
i was a fool to care.
you weren't nothing but a fool to care,
just a country fool to care.
you weren't nothing but a fool to care,
just a country fool to care...
