Toast To The Fool
The Dramatics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He wasn't true
He tried to find another girl
Sweeter than you
Imagination sent him
On a wild goose chase
But now he sees that no other girl
So now he's trying hard again
To get you back
But you know the fool's heart
Was made of cellophane
And you see through that
When he had your love
In the palms of his hands
He just wasn't unsatisfied
I said, he jived and connived
And he had to have another girl
Right there by his side
Oh, let's give a toast (give a toast)
(Give a toast) (give a toast, yeah)
To the fool (to the fool)
Who let you go (who let you go)
Let's give a toast
(Give a toast) (give a toast)
(Here's another toast, yeah)
To the fool (to the fool)
Who let you go (who let you go)
But now we're together
He can't hurt you no more

Let's have another one, yeah
When he had your love
In the palms of his hands
He just wasn't unsatisfied
I said he lied, alibied
And he had to have another girl
Right there on his side

(A toast, yeah)
Ain't it funny, babe
How a thing could work so strange
Sometimes, to get to love
You must go through so much pain
Now you gave your love
So unselfishly
But all that you got
Back in return was misery
Well, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm glad (glad)
It all turned out this way
Cause you would never left him
Had he not shown you the way
But his loss is our every gain
And the love that we
Share together now
Eases every, every pain
Oh, let's give a toast (give a toast)
Give a toast, give a toast, yeah....

Line by Line Meaning
You gave your all and all to him
You put all your effort and love into your relationship with him
He wasn't true
He was unfaithful
He tried to find another girl
He searched for someone else
Sweeter than you
Someone who seems better than you
Imagination sent him
His thoughts and daydreams led him to look for someone else
On a wild goose chase
A pointless pursuit of something that doesn't exist
But now he sees that no other girl
He realizes that no one else can replace you
Could ever take your place
No one else can fill the void that you left
So now he's trying hard again
He is attempting to win you back
To get you back
To win you back into his life
But you know the fool's heart
You understand his true intentions
Was made of cellophane
His heart was transparent and easily seen through
And you see through that
You are aware of his true motives
When he had your love
When he was in a relationship with you
In the palms of his hands
When he had complete control of your love
He just wasn't unsatisfied
He was not content with only your love
I said, he jived and connived
He was deceptive and manipulative
And he had to have another girl
He wanted to be with someone else
Right there by his side
With him all the time
Oh, let's give a toast (give a toast)
Let's raise our glasses
(Give a toast) (give a toast, yeah)
Cheers to you
To the fool (to the fool)
To him, the foolish one
Who let you go (who let you go)
Who lost you
But now we're together
Now we are in a relationship
He can't hurt you no more
He can no longer cause you pain

A message from the website
Let's have another one, yeah
Let's continue celebrating with more drinks
I said he lied, alibied
He was dishonest and made excuses
Three cheers for the fool
A celebratory gesture for him
To the fool (for the fool)
Referring to him again
Let's tip your hat (tip your hat)
A way to show respect
He can't hurt you, no more
He is no longer able to cause you pain
Ain't it funny, babe
Isn't it ironic?
How a thing could work so strange
How strange things can happen in life
Sometimes, to get to love
In order to reach true love
You must go through so much pain
It often entails a lot of hardships
Now you gave your love
You offered your love
So unselfishly
Without thinking of yourself
But all that you got
You did not receive much
Back in return was misery
You were left with pain and suffering
Well, I'm glad, I'm glad
I am happy
It all turned out this way
That things ended up like this
Cause you would never left him
You would have never left him
Had he not shown you the way
If he had not made mistakes and led you to leave him
But his loss is our every gain
We are benefiting from his loss
And the love that we
The love that we share
Share together now
That we have together
Eases every, every pain
Helps us to overcome all pain

By far the better version. WeeGee was probably the closest thing to David Ruffin that ever came along.

@oldschoolsinger Thank you for your comment. My family laughs at me because I prefer listening to the "classics". But I'm not tripping because whenever I ride in my nephew's car, he plays new school hip hop, but Ike Hayes, the Isleys, and Rick James are on his playlist.

@Angela fisher Yep, he was great. So sad that there will never be music like this again.
Angela fisher
Oh, I can't forget the legend Ron Banks on lead. One of the best falsetto in soul music.
Angela fisher
So agree. I have my dad's 45 and almost got rid of because the song was on the greatest hits CD. Only to realize that the CD version was led by L J Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds is a great vocalist, but I prefer Wee Gee' on this one.
Audrey Fisher
I agree in 2022! Thank you for remembering! God bless!
Thea Walker
