I don`t wanna be a fool
I don`t wanna be a fool for love
No, no, I won`t, no, hey, no

I know that people do go through changes, yeah
But this just don`t make no damn sense
If we`re gonna keep sayin` we love one another, yeah, yeah
Well, then we better stop fightin` and arguin`

`Cause baby, I`ve heard "I`m sorry"
Too many, many times before, now I know better
It hurts to hold on to this kind of love even more
No, I`m not crazy

I won`t be a fool, a fool for our love
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy
I`m not gonna choose, choose for you
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy, yeah

I know it`s time to go when I feel lonely
When I`m layin` in your arms and it don`t feel right, oh
`Cause every time I feelin` up you try to bring me down
So I feel good knowin` I don`t need you around

`Cause I know, I know that I can feel this bad all by myself, yeah
And maybe that`s my best bet
Startin` this time I`m gonna think selfishly
And never depend on someone else for keepin` me happy, oh, no, no

I won`t be a fool, a fool for love
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy, oh no
I`m not gonna choose, choose for you
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy, oh

I, I, I, I won`t be a fool, a fool for love
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy
I`m not gonna choose, choose for you
`Cause I know I`d rather be alone than be here unhappy, ooh yeah

I`m never gonna be a fool for love
I`d rather be alone, just give it up
Don`t make no sense to be in love
And be here unhappy, oh no

It might feel good on a lonely night
But layin` in your arms today ain`t right
I`d rather lose you than lose my mind
And be here unhappy with you baby

Hey no, no, no, no, no, no
I don`t wanna be a fool
I don`t wanna be a fool
