a fool like me

delbert mcclinton

you've been hanging around from the get-go

honey we had some fun

but now it's time for you to put on your shoes

and go back to where you came from

it's hard for me to be honest

but honey i'm telling you the truth

with what you've got

and what i'm not

you could put it all better use

i can't love somebody

who would fall for a fool like me

a little sweetie pie with stars in her eyes

is exactly what i don't need

if you don't want to get your heart broke

you oughta have enough sense to leave

cause you don't want to be somebody who would fall for a fool like me

now i don't want to meet your daddy

your daddy he don't want to meet me

i don't want to get caught pickin' the fruit off of the family tree

now you gonna thank me later

honey you wait and see

cause you don't want to be somebody

who would fall for a fool like me

i can't love somebody

who would fall for a fool like me

a little sweetie pie with stars in her eyes

is exactly what i don't need

if you don't want to get your heart broke

you oughta have enough sense to leave

how could i love somebody who would fall for a fool like me.
