Lonelier Are Fools
The Three Degrees · International (Take Good Care Of Yourself) [2010]
Patched upon a dream, my mind
Sweet lines of worship was my game
Made his love come easy
I cannot sustain
I walked away, just looking down
Searching all alone
Lonelier are fools
Lonely, lonely
Just because they know
But never try to change it (never try to change)
Lonelier are fools
Just because they know--
No time to ponder where I've been
When he came, my heart give in
Sweet words of magic was my game
Cast a spell within me
I can never change
He gave me fragments of my past
Now I'm quite alone
Lonelier are fools
Lonely, lonely
Just because they know
But never try to change it, ohhhhh-oooooooh
Lonelier are fools, lonelier are fools
Just because they know--
Oo-ooooooh-ooooh
Lonelier are fools (lonely, lonely)
Just because they know
They never try to change it
Lonelier are fools, ooh
Just because they know----
Lonelier are fools
Ohhh, oooh
Just because they know
They never try to change it
(Lonelier are fools)
So lonely are fools
Just because they know----
Lonelier are fools
So lonely are fools
Just because they know
They never try to change it
(Lonelier are fools)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely are fools
Just because they know----
