Thanks to the Fool |
| Hey, hey, hey-hey |
| I feel good, you know why |
| Because I’m a living witness that, uh, when patience prevails your luck will |
| change |
| Remeber when we first met, uh, when-when we first had our conversation |
| When you showed me your engagement ring, you know you’re engaged to John, |
| I congratulated you |
| You appeared to be so happy and jolly |
| Said he’s got thing all locked up and… |
| He made a mistake, though — he got caught in that grass is greener sentiments |
| now looking on the other side of the fence |
| Neglected what he had right there and he knew |
| And I took a big route for that too, you know I was accused |
| Of being hung up on somebody that belonged to somebody else |
| You know, I was for John’s girl |
| But you know, I didn’t do anything, I just laid back and watched him blow |
| I knew it, I knew it, I knew he was going to blow |
| I didn’t have to raise a hand |
| So all those nights you sat home, waiting for the phone to ring |
| I was hanging back in the wings, visually monitoring the situation |
| Wishing it would be me that you were longing for |
| And finally you woke up and realized you had an alternative |
| And of course the alternative was me |
| I want to assure you, that you will never ever have to be lonely again |
| You’ll always know where this man is |
| And I’ll lavish you with more love than you ever fantasized about |
| I’ll take care of you |
| You know they talk about me, I took a lot of hard reps |
| I gon make for John’s girl and he ain’t gon make it |
| But you see who’s got the last laugh now |
| And I have John to thank for that |
| Yes I stand accused of, uh, what was it |
| I stand accused then and I stand accused now of loving you |
| And now I just wanna say |
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
| He didn’t know I needed all the things that you are |
| And I’m willing to be |
| What he failed to see |
| A supporting cast for a superstar |
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
| I’m so god darn lucky, I’m just one love’s |
| I stood patiently on the sidelines |
| And watch this good thing unwind |
| From now on I’m your forever |
| 'Cause he just became your history |
| I’m saying thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
| I’ll take you for worse and for better |
| And I’ll take you right that the fool was too dumb to take |
| A sweet lady like you, mm |
| Such a beautiful slice of heaven |
| Your love is safe with me |
| Never again will your heart break |
| I stood patiently on the sidelines |
| And watch this good thing unwind |
| I’ve been what he should’ve been |
| The right kind of lover, the right kind of friend |
| And I said thanks, I wanna say thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool, woah |
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
| He don’t know what he had |
| He blew a good thing and I’m so glad |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool |
| I said thanks to the fool (for letting you go) |
| Seems like I’ve waited for such a long time |
| Thanks to the fool, at last you’re mine |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool (for letting you go) |
| I’m gonna you night and day |
| Never will you want to go away |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool |
| I said thanks to the fool for letting you go |
| You are the one that I’ve waited for |
| Because you’re the one that I love |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool |
| I wanna, I wanna say thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool (for letting you go) |
| Now you if you only knew the day he blew your love away was my lucky day |
| Everything’s okay |
| That’s why I say for him today |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool |
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
