What A Fool I've Been

Once I had a girl, I thought I had a maid

So I went out boozin' and I had my share of the fun in

Suddenly one day, she wasn't there no more

Gone home to her mother, said "I've had enough" left a note upon the door



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



Now I see that I've been acting like a fool

Cause a girl will never stay by your side if you don't play by the rules

If you treat her wrong she'll do you just the same

So you have to learn how to give and take if you wanna play that game



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



What a fool I've been, I'm down but I can tell

I'll be up again, I've learned my lesson well



No more screwin' 'round, no staying out at nights

And I'm gonna shape up gonna choose the words

Gonna play my dices right

Gonna rearrange, this old and drafty shack

Gonna build a castle with my own two hands and bring that honey back



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



What a fool I've been, I'm down but I can tell

I'll be up again, I've learned my lesson well



No more screwin' 'round, no staying out at nights

And I'm gonna shape up gonna choose the words

Gonna play my dices right

Gonna rearrange, this old and drafty shack

Gonna build a castle with my own two hands and bring that honey back



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a shape I'm in

I said, woh, oh, woh, oh, what a fool I've been



What a fool I've been, what a fool I've been

What a fool I've been
