Lyrics A Fool Like Me - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

A Fool Like Me

You’ve been hanging around from the get-go
Honey, we had some fun
But now it’s time for you to put on them shoes
And go back to where you came from
It’s hard for me to be honest
But honey‚ I’m telling you the truth
With what you’ve got and what I’m not
You could put it all to better use
I can’t love somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me
A little sweetie-pie with stars in her eyes
Exactly what I don’t need
If you don’t wanna get your heart broke
You oughta have enough sense to leave
'Cause you don’t want to be somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me
No‚ I don’t want to meet your daddy
Your daddy‚ he don’t want to meet me
I don’t want to get caught
Pickin' the fruit off of the family tree
You gonna thank me later
Honey, you wait and see
'Cause you don’t wanna be somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me
I can’t love somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me
A little sweetie-pie with stars in her eyes
Exactly what I don’t need
If you don’t wanna get your heart broke
You oughta have enough sense to leave
How can I love somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me?
No Honey, you don’t wanna be somebody
Who would fall for a fool like me
