Lyrics I Was a Fool to Care - James Taylor

I Was a Fool to Care

I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I don’t care even if I was a fool
Still in love with you
Had I listened to the grape vine
I might have had my doubts
But I tried my level best just to block them out
'Cause love is so unwise
Love has no eyes
It took a while for a fool to see what his friends were on about
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I don’t care even if I was a fool
Still in love with you
Imagining your face
It almost fills the empty space before me
I can see your eyes, almost hear your lovely lies
I wish I was an old man
Love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mama’s knee
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
Just to keep in track of time
Without all these memories
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
And I don’t care even if I was a fool
Still in love with you, baby yes I am
I could’ve opened my eyes
Could’ve seen through your lies
Could’ve stood for no more
Could’ve walked out the door
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
(I was a fool) You were nothing but a fool to care
(I was a fool) Just a country fool to care
(I was a fool) You were nothing but a fool to care
(I was a fool) Just a country fool to care
(I was a fool) You were nothing but a fool to care
(I was a fool) Just a country fool to care
(I was a fool) You were nothing but a fool to care
(I was a fool) Just a country fool to care
(I was a fool) You were nothing but a fool to care
