Don't Want to Be a Fool

Love, what have you done? Oh, wow I was sure up to now that she was a friend I stayed 'till the end (don't be a fool again) I once believed that love was fair But I don't anymore, she said I'm a bore My heart hit the floor (don't be a fool anymore) Each time around I tell myself it's the game of love Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again So I'll say to the end I just don't wanna be a fool (don't want to be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool ever again Whenever a fool's in love he doesn't know he's to blame He's caught in the game It all ends up the same (he doesn't feel the shame) He looks at love in a diff'rent way It breaks his heart ev'rytime they all turn out strange But he'll never change (he's never gonna change) Next time around I'll tell myself it'll be better than before I won't look back There'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore I just decided I can't let nobody fool me again So I'll swear to the end I just don't wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool (ever again) No way (I mean no more) never again (ooh, no never) I can't be a fool, can't be, no way, no way, no way I don't wanna be I don't wanna be a fool, no I can't love anybody (I can't love nobody) Walking on a one way street (any way, any way any, way no) If I don't (if I don't) find somebody (somebody body) That'll be alright with me (know, I know it'll be alright now) 'Cause I decided not to let nobody kill me again So I'll say to the end I just don't wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool) ever, ever again (Don't wanna a fool can't be a fool) Don't wanna be a fool (don't wanna be a fool) ever again (I don't wanna be a fool) never oh never oh never again (Don't wanna be a fool) can't be a fool --- Don't Want to Be a Fool - Luther Vandross
