Fool to Cry
Scubba Lyrics

When I come home baby
After spending the whole night working, when I get back home.

And I've been working all night long
Indicates the duration of work, which lasted for an entire night.

I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
The singer sits with his daughter and she starts speaking.

Daddy what's wrong
His daughter asks him what's making him sad.

I put my head on her shoulder
The artist leans on his daughter's shoulder, seeking comfort.

She whispers in my ear so sweet
The daughter whispers words of comfort and support in his ear.

You know what she says?
Asks the listener if he knows what the daughter says.

Daddy you're a fool to cry
His daughter thinks it foolish for him to cry.

You're a fool to cry
The daughter is emphatic in declaring her father to be foolish for crying.

And it makes me wonder why
The artist wonders why he is crying, given the support that he has around him.

You know, I got a woman
The singer talks about his partner.

And she lives in the poor part of town
The partner lives in a less-affluent part of the city.

And I go see her sometimes
The singer visits his partner occasionally.

And we make love, so fine
The singer and his partner's physical intimacy is pleasurable for both of them.

She says, tell me all your troubles
His partner reassures him and encourages him to share his personal problems.

Daddy you're a fool to cry
His partner agrees with his daughter; he has enough in his life to be happy.

Daddy you're a fool to cry
The partner repeats her statement, emphasizing her support.

She says, daddy you're a fool to cry
The partner expresses again how she views the situation.

Even my friends say to me sometimes
The singer's friends also comment on his emotional state.

And make out like I don't understand them
The artist pretends ignorance of what his friends are telling him.

They say, daddy you're a fool to cry
The artist's friends agree with his daughter and partner about his emotional reaction.

And it makes me wonder why
The artist is introspective about his emotions, given the feedback he has received.

I'm a fool baby
The singer accepts that he is a foolish person.

I'm a certified fool, now
He emphasizes the degree of his foolishness.

I want to tell ya
The singer shares with his listeners.

Gotta tell ya, baby
He is eager to express himself more.

I'm a fool baby
He repeats his statement about being foolish.

Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
The artist addresses his partner and repeats his previous comments.

I'm a fool
He repeats this comment for emphasis, owning his foolishness.
