Fool
The Stamps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Fool, you could have made her want you
Fool, you could have made her love you
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Gone now, the love and laughter
See yourself the morning after
Can't you see her eyes are misty
As she said good bye

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now your love is gone

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Fool, you could have made her want you
Fool, you could have made her love you
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her




Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her

He’s right on. His descriptions perfectly fit Jonathan Ogden and Tony Siracusa for what he’d recruit for an OL and DL.

Wow, some people and their own interpretation....smh! Deon is definitely being Deon!! He's NEVER been racist! He ALWAYS tells the truth, even if it hurts your feelings. Hard truth is better than LYING! That's just him being himself.
