Don't Want to Be a Fool

Luther Vandross

11

Love, what have you done? Oh, wow

I was sure up to now that she was a friend

I stayed ′til the end (don't be a fool again)I once believed that love was fair

But I don′t anymore, she said I'm a bore

My heart hit the floor (don't be a fool anymore)

Each time around

I tell myself it′s the game of love

Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love

Well, I′ve decided I can't let nobody hurt me again

So I′ll say to the end

I just don't want to be a fool (don′t want to be a fool)

Said I don't want to be a fool ever again

Whenever a fool′s in love, he doesn't know he's to blame

He′s caught in the game

It all ends up the same (he doesn′t feel the shame)

He looks at love in a different way

It breaks his heart ev'rytime they all turn out strange

But he′ll never change (he's never gonna change)

Next time around, I′ll tell myself it'll be better than before

I won′t look back

There'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore

I just decided I can't let nobody fool me again

So I′ll swear to the end

I just don′t wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool)

Said I don′t wanna be a fool ever again

(No way) I mean no more (never again) ooh, no never

(I can't be a fool) can′t be, no way, no way, no way

I don't want to be

I don′t want to be a fool, no

(I can't love) I can't love (anybody) nobody

(Walking on a one way street) any way, any way, any way, no

(If I don′t) if I don′t (find somebody) somebody-body

(That'll be alright with me) I know, I know it′ll be alright now

'Cause I′ve decided not to let nobody kill me again

So I'll say to the end

I just don′t want to be a fool (don't want to be a fool)

Said I don't want to be a fool (don′t want to be a fool) ever, ever again

(Don′t want to be a fool) can't be a fool

(Don′t want to be a fool) ever again

(I don't want to be a fool) never, oh never, oh never again

(Don′t want to be a fool) can't be a fool
