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

Baby, 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.
