Fool to Cry

When I come home, baby

And I've been working all night long

I put my daughter on my knee

And she says, "Daddy what's wrong?"

She whispers in my ear so sweet

You know what she says?

She says, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

You're a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why

Daddy, you're a fool"

You know, I got a woman

And she lives in the poor part of town

And I go see her sometimes

And we make love, so fine

I put my head on her shoulder

She says, "Tell me all your troubles"

You know what she says?

She says, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

You're a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why

Daddy, you're a fool to cry"

She says, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

You're a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why"

She says, "Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

Ooh-ooh, you're a fool to cry

Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry"

Even my friends say to me sometimes

And make out like I don't understand them

You know what they say?

They say, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry

You're a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why"

I'm a fool, baby

I'm a certified fool

Gotta tell ya, baby

I'm a fool, babe

Certified fool for ya, come on, yeah

I'm a fool
