Fool that I am, I'm still being true
Fool that I am, what else can I do
I want you so, though I know we're through
Fool that I am, I'm yours

You told me lies, but how could I tell
I wasn't wise, I loved you too well
Now here am I, still under your spell
Fool that I am, I'm yours

No matter if we're apart
You have my lips, you have my heart
No matter what happened then
I'd do the same again

Fool that I am, I can't break away
I live in hope you'll come back someday
That's how I am and that's how I'll stay
Fool that I am, I'm yours
