That Fool Was Me

Sometimes I feel like a newborn babe

without a mama's arms to hold him tightly,

chilled to the bone

and knowing there'll

never be no place I can call my own

and you came my way.

Like a summer's day

you warm the very cockles of my soul.

Squeaky and clean

but totally blind to what makes a man stand tall.

Please don't need me to be untrue

'cause when you do I feel blue.

Please don't feed me the way you do

'cause, mama, I'll be bigger than you.

Everybody get out my way,

I got something to say.

You take your time and you blow my mind.

There's something about you, baby,

and they all agree.

There I go, I sing it sweet and low,

only a fool would leave you

and that fool was me.

In every hope there's a heartache baby

rising from the broken mind that can't let go,

but then there's a rise,

potentially

someone that I would give until I die.

What can you do? The damage is done,

sticking out like a sore thumb.

It's time to move on

when I take the train whose destination

is dysfunction junction.

Please don't need me to be untrue

'cause when you do I feel blue.

Please don't feed me the way you do

'cause, mama, I'll be bigger than you.

Everybody get out my way,

I got something to say.

You take your time and you blow my mind.

There's something about you, baby,

and they all agree.

But there I go, I sing it sweet and low,

only a fool would leave you

and that fool was me.

That fool was me.

We're finally free.
