don t want to be a fool

Luther Vandross

Love, what have you done, oh wow
I was sure up till now
That she was a friend
I stayed till the end

I once believed that love was fair
But I don't anymore
She said, I'm a bore
My heart hit the floor

Each time around I tell myself
"It's the game of love"
Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love
Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it till the end I just don't wanna be a fool
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool ever again"

Whenever a fool's in love
He doesn't know he's to blame
He's caught in the game
It all ends up the same

He looks at love in a different way
It breaks his heart every time
They all turn estranged
But he'll never change

Oh, next time around I'll tell myself
"It'll be better than before"
I won't look back, there'll be no one
Tearing my heart out anymore, my baby
I've just decided I can't let nobody fool me again
So I'll swear till the end I just don't wanna be a fool
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool ever again"

I mean no more
Ooh, no never
Can't be, no way
No way, no way
Ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool, no

I can't love anybody walking on a one way street
If I don't find somebody that'll be alright with me
'Cause I decided not to let nobody kill me again
So I'll say it till the end, "I just don't wanna be a fool"
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool never, never again"

Can't be a fool never again
Never, never, never again
Can't be a fool
