You're The Fool

The Three Degrees · Maybe [Remastered] [2012]

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ha!

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you



Now take a look at yourself

And tell me who do you think you are

(just who do you think you are)

You're longing from here to there

You're breaking heart right after heart



But didn't you know (didn't you know)

That it's all coming back to you

Well, didn't you know (didn't you know)

Ohhh, that you're gonna have some heartbreak, too



'Cause you're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you



Now I know you've been thinking

That you're out of sight (mm-hmm)

Well, it won't be long now, baby

For more, it will be right



But you're gonna lose (you're gonna lose)

Yeah, baby, you're gonna lose out

And you'll be the one (you'll be the one)

Ohhh, the one nobody's talking about



'Cause you're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ha!

Ha!



De-de-de, ha--

De-de-de, ha--

De-de-de, ha--

De-de-de, ha--



Now don't it make you feel good

To know you got a lot of hearts on a string?

But when it gets down to it, baby

It really doesn't mean of a thing



'Cause what you got (what you got)

Well, it won't be yours for long

And you'll find out (find out)

That what you doing is got to be wrong, yeah--



'Cause you're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ah-ha!

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ah-ha!

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ah-ha!

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ah-ha!

You're the fool

For thinking everybody's a fool for you, ah-ha!
