Fool
Shakira · Laundry Service
Improvise, do something really clever,
That'll make me hater your name forever
You might swear, you'd never touch a lady
Well, let me say, you're not too far from maybe
Everyday you find new ways to hurt me
[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
God resigned from hearing my old story
Every night, I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
All this pain, begins to feel like pleasure
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds, and I'll keep saying thank you
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
