If I was a fool, it would sure be easy

I could fall, oh baby, for your wicked smile

Buy you a drink, whisper some lie, oh no

And we could go somewhere quiet, for a little while



But my mama she didn't raise no fool

She said, you be careful what you do

Don't let no-one take advantage of you

But my mama she didn't raise no fool

No fool



If I was a fool, I'd forget those promises I already have made

Wipe my woman from my mind, so we could play, oh baby

If I was a fool, I'd follow you home

I would hug you, kiss you and squeeze you, all night long



But no...

My mama she didn't raise no fool

She said, you be careful what you do

Don't let no-one take advantage of you

Cause my ma she didn't raise no fool
