Westlife - Fool Again
Absolute Kidz · Absolute Kidz 1 [2000]
Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret
That you've been hiding
And who's gonna take my place?
I should've seen it coming
I should've read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me
Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances
To show you how much I care, oh
I should've seen it coming
I should've read the signs
Anyway, (anyway) I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me
(Told me)
About the pain and the tears
Ohoo...
If I could, I would
Turn back the time
Oh yeah
I should've seen it coming
I should've read the signs
Anyway, (anyway) I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know? (how was I to know?)
You never told me (never told me, baby)
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my friend (baby, I'm the fool)
How was I to know?
You never told me (you never told me)
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know? (how was I to know?)
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again...

Westlife - Fool Again
Released on the Absolute Kidz compilation album in 2000, "Fool Again" features the Irish boy band Westlife performing a track originally recorded by the group. The song exemplifies the late 1990s pop-rock sound that defined the era, characterized by melodic hooks and polished production typical of chart-topping boy bands of that period. While Westlife is widely recognized for their own discography, this recording highlights their versatility and ability to reinterpret material within the broader context of early 2000s pop music. The track remains a notable example of the genre's influence on mainstream youth culture during the turn of the millennium.
