The Fool in Me

Kenny Rogers · Through the Years (Italy) [1999]

Well, I wonder, wonder, wonder just why it is

That I sit around here and I cry

Is it just because I'm too weak to take the loss?

I walk away knowing that I really care down deep inside.



Or is it just the fool in me (is it just the fool in me)

Keeps me hanging on

When I should have been gone?

Is it just the fool in me (is it just the fool in me)

That won't let me live without you?

Oh honey, I think it's just the fool in me, darling

I think it's just the fool in me,

Keeps me hanging on

I can't seem to help myself. (at all).



And I have promised, I have promised

I made promises to myself

I would stay no longer

But every time I say "I've had enough"

I start to step but my shoes get stuck

And all I seem to do is stand and say

"I want you, girl",

Maybe it's the fool in me (maybe it's the fool in me)

Keeps me hanging on

I can't seem to help myself. (at all)...



And I love, I love you, I love you, I love you

Ah, look how close I came!,

Ah, tell myself just don't do it again

Ah, just when I feel I'm on my way

All I ever seem to do is stay.
