Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa...There's something on my mind
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong

You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man

He's got me smilin' when I should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
But I'll do anything you ask me to

You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man

Without my man I don't wanna live
You think I'm lying but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied

You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man

A wave of action speaks louder than words
The truest thing that I ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And I, and I'll do anything he wants me to do

You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad




You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
