I Was a Fool (to Let You Go) Songtext
von Barry Manilow

After I′ve had my last cigarette
When the night is as black
As the night's goin′ to get
Well I'm still wide awake
Cause I still can't forget
I was a fool to let you go

And after I′ve closed
The bar with the boys
Though I can′t stand the drinks
And I can't stand the noise
When I know I′ll be back
Cause there's no other choice
I know I was a fool to let you go


I was a fool to think that I could sleep a wink
In this big and deep bed by myself
And I was a fool to wait until it was too late
To tell you just how I felt

And after I′ve been
With somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah, but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it′s so true
No, I was a fool to let you go


And after I've been
With somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah, but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it′s so true
When I′ve seen what it cost
And what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go
