Everybody tells me I'm

A fool & I'm just wastin' time

To love someone who's not in love with me

Friends all say that I'm a dope

To stay in love when there's no hope

But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly



CHORUS:

What can I do? Hey, what can I say?

Each time I try to say goodbye

His lips get in the way

Oh yeah, his lips get in the way



He says my love don't mean a thing

But still he keeps me on a string

I'm just someone he likes to have around

I say I want no more of this

But then he stops me with a kiss

I can't resist him though he puts me down



(chorus)



Everybody calls me fool

They say "Hey girl, go back to school

& learn the things that every girl should know"

But I guess I've got no brains

Because my foolish heart remains

I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no



(chorus)
