it was much too easy to love you
but kind of hard to let go
well I guess I really knew I blew it
when I could have been the star of your show

she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?

well I really tried so hard to reach you
but I was scared i'd go too far
so I treated you like my special lady
instead of just what you are

she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?

I guess I never knew
what love was really made of
I thought love meant holding hands
and all that kinda stuff
oh but loving you
that was something else baby
but losing you
hey girl I can only blame myself

she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?

well they told me you were something special
so I was really on my toes
I said special or not I lost you
well I guess it's just the way it goes

she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
don't you know I love you?
she said fool
