I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care,

but I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you.

Had I listened to the grapevine, I might have had my doubts.

But I did my level best just to block them out.

Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes,

And it took a while for a fool to see what his friends were on about.



I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care,

but I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you.

Imagining your face, it almost fills the empty space before me.

I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies.



I wish I was an old man and love was through with me.

I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee.

I wish I was a freight train moving down the line,

just keeping track of time without all these memories



I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care,

but I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you, babe, yes, I am.

I could have opened my eyes, I could have seen through your lies,

I could have stood for no more, I could have walked out the door.



But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care.

But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care.

You weren't nothing but a fool to care, just a country fool to care.

You weren't nothing but a fool to care, just a country fool to care...
