Don’t Want to Be a Fool Songtext
von Luther Vandross

Love, what have you done? Oh, wow
I was sure up to now that she was a friend
I stayed ′til the end (don't be a fool again)
I once believed that love was fair
But I don′t anymore, she said I'm a bore
My heart hit the floor (don't be a fool anymore)

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 to the end
I just don't want to be a fool (don′t want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to 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 doesn′t feel the shame)
He looks at love in a different way
It breaks his heart ev'rytime they all turn out strange
But he′ll never change (he's never gonna change)


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
I just decided I can't let nobody fool me again
So I′ll swear to the end
I just don′t wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool)
Said I don′t wanna be a fool ever again

(No way) I mean no more (never again) ooh, no never
(I can't be a fool) can′t be, no way, no way, no way
I don't want to be
I don′t want to be a fool, no

(I can't love) I can't love (anybody) nobody
(Walking on a one way street) any way, any way, any way, no
(If I don′t) if I don′t (find somebody) somebody-body
(That'll be alright with me) I know, I know it′ll be alright now
'Cause I′ve decided not to let nobody kill me again

So I'll say to the end
I just don′t want to be a fool (don't want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to be a fool (don′t want to be a fool) ever, ever again
(Don′t want to be a fool) can't be a fool
(Don′t want to be a fool) ever again
(I don't want to be a fool) never, oh never, oh never again
(Don′t want to be a fool) can't be a fool
