Lyrics

I'm a Fool to Care

By Ted Daffan

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

I'M A FOOL TO CRY,
WHEN YOU TELL ME GOODBYE.
YOU LEFT ME SO BLUE,
WHEN YOU WERE UNTRUE,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

I KNOW I SHOULD LAUGH
AND CALL IT A DAY.
BUT I KNOW I WOULD CRY
IF YOU WENT AWAY.

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU DON'T CARE FOR ME.
SO WHY SHOULD I PRETEND,
I LOSE IN THE END,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

BRRR!

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.
