I’m a Fool to Want You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

[Verse 2]
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the Devil has known

[Bridge]
Time and time again I’ve said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'll have to say

[Verse 3]
I’m a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

[Outro]
Without you
Without you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
