Intro

    
    

Chorus

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 
I'm still in love with you 

Verse

Had I listened to the grapevine
I might have had my doubts
But I did my level best just to block them out
'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
And it took a while for a fool to see
what his friends were on about

Chorus

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 
I'm still in love with you

Bridge

Imagining your face,
it almost fills the empty space before me
I can see your eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
  

Verse

I wish I was an old man
and 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 keeping track of time
without all these memories

Chorus

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  
I'm still in love with you 
Baby, yes, I am 

Verse

I could have opened my eyes 
I could have seen through your lies 
I could have stood for no more 
I could have walked out the door 

Chorus

But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care 
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care 
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
(repeat and fade)
