No One's Gonna Be a Fool Forever

Darlin', you know you've got the cruelest streak
You only say you love me just to keep me weak
Your loving words have kept me here for many years
I'm leavin', I'll face the tears

You know that no one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

Beautiful plans are hard to forget
You promised me a family
A little girl with braids skipping off to school
A part of you and me will never be

You know that, no one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

Darlin', I'm leaving you but with regrets
Everything I have for you is gone, there's nothing left
You had me apologize for things, I didn't do
To keep my self-respect I'm leaving you

You know that, no one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
This fool is gonna say, goodbye

No one's gonna be a fool forever
Ain't no one gonna be a fool for life
No one's gonna be a fool forever
