Walking in the Footsteps of a Fool Songtext
von Ben E. King

With my eyes wide open I can see the danger sign.
You broke the heart before me and now you′re after mine.
And with every every kiss I know that I'd take a step, mmm,
that puts me next in line. I′ma walking in the footsteps of a fool.

And he gave you all his loving and you paid him back in tears.
And now he's counting heartaches among his souvenir.
And I know I've begged, I′ve begged my heart, my heart to listen,
oh, but my heart just never hear. Babe, and I′m just-a walking
in the footsteps of a fool.


No, I know I just can't help my helpless heart from-a reachin′ out to
you. Mmm, I'm just-a walking in his footsteps and there′s not a thing
that I can do.

Oh, I know that I shouldn't love you, baby, and I know
I shouldn′t stay. I'm just-a headed for a heartbreak,
but I just can't turn away. And I said that tomorrow, baby,
tomorrow I know that I′ll be crying, darling darling,
the tears he cried today. Mmmh-mmmh, I′ma walking in the
footsteps of a fool. Baby, did you hear me when I said that
I'm just-a (WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A FOOL), oooh, step
by step by step by step, darling? And I said that I′m, and I know,
I know, I know that I'ma walking, I′ma walking, I'ma walking,
baby (WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A FOOL).
