Some damn fool left his heart wide open
Some damn fool spent his whole life hoping
It's true I was a damn fool over you

Some damn fool forgot to lie to you
Like all those other pretty jokers do
And it's true I was a damn fool over you

Well it takes a damn fool to do a damn fool thing
Like buying you a house and a diamond ring
Hoping that you're going to be sticking around
When there's so many other damn fools in town

Some damn fool fell in love with you
And that's the kind of loving that will never do
Yes it's true I was a damn fool over you

Well it's a damn sight foolish and a damn sight wrong
Writing down your troubles in a Honky Tonk song
That's the kind of thing a damn fool will do
While the other damn fools are making love to you

Some damn fool stayed up all night
Staring at his beer until the raw daylight
And it's true I was a damn fool over you 

I said  some damn fool forgot to lie to you
Like all those other pretty jokers do
And it's true I was a damn fool over you
Uh huh, Honey it's true I was a damn fool over you 
Yeah I was
