MY FRIENDS THEY TRY TO TELL ME, SHE DON’T KNOW HOW TO BE TRUE
MY FRIENDS THEY TRY TO TELL ME, SHE DON’T KNOW HOW TO BE TRUE
YOU KNOW I ‘AINT NOBODYS FOOL,
BUT I’LL PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU

NOW I KNOW YOUR REPUTATION, I KNOW YOU’RE ALWAYS ON THE MOVE
YES I KNOW YOUR REPUTATION, I KNOW YOU’RE ALWAYS ON THE MOVE
BUT I DON’T GIVE INTO THAT CONVERSATION,
THAT’S WHY I PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU

WHEN THE DAY FEELS SO LONG, YOU’RE ALL I NEED TO GET ME THROUGH
WHEN THE DAY FEELS SO LONG, YOU’RE ALL I NEED TO GET ME THROUGH
YOU CAN MAKE EVERYTHING FEEL ALLRIGHT
THAT’S WHY I PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU

SOMETIMES, I GET TROUBLED OVER YOU
SOMETIMES, I GET TROUBLED OVER YOU
BUT I DON’T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY
THAT’S WHY I PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU

MY BABE, WHY DO YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOU DO
MY BABE, WHY DO YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOU DO
YOU KNOW I AINT NOBODYS FOOL
BUT I’LL PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU

YOU KNOW I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YA
THAT’S WHY I PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU
