I'll Always Be A Fool For You
David Allan Coe · Other Songs - David Allan Coe
I never know if you'll be hot or cold to me
Can't you see what I've been going through?
We belong together
Even though I know, at times it just can't be
Honey, can't you see, I'll always be a fool for you?
I'll always be the first to say I'm sorry
I'll always be the last to say we're through
I'll always be the one to take another chance
In this romance, I'll always be a fool for you
I'll always be the first to say I'm sorry
I'll always be the last to say we're through
I'll always be the one to take another chance
In this romance, I'll always be a fool for you
I'll Always Be A Fool For You
