Don’t Be a Fool (MTV Unplugged) Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, yeah

[Verse 1]
You've got me crying, oh
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But don't be a fool
(Sing it with me)
You've got my heart but I can't let you keep it, babe
'Cause I won't be sure that I can stay
And don't waste your time trying to pull me in
'Cause I'm just a mess you don't wanna fix
Just promise me one thing that you won't forget
But for now, kiss me softly before I say
(Now sing it out)

[Chorus]
And don't be a fool, yeah
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move, yeah
And don't be a fool, darling
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
[Verse 2]
And just know that I do, oh I really like you, baby
And I wanna be there for you, for the rest of your days
But I know that you'll hurt if we keep on doing this
So I'm sorry to end it, but I know that it's for the best
(Now sing it out)

[Chorus]
And don't be a fool, yeah
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move, yeah
And don't be a fool, no no
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you, no, no no

[Bridge]
I don't think you'll ever understand
I don't think you'll ever understand
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But darling, don't be a fool, no no
No, I don't think you'll ever understand (No, no, no no, yeah)
I don't think you'll ever understand
I know that you don't wanna hear this
So darling, don't be a fool
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool, yeah
Wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
So baby, don't be a fool
No, don't be a fool, yeah
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you, no, no no
No, I don't think you'll ever understand, baby
No, I don't think you'll ever understand
I know that you don't wanna hear this
So darling, don't be a fool, woah
I don't think you'll ever understand (Nah, nah, no)
No, I don't think you'll ever understand
I know that you don't wanna hear this
So baby, don't be a fool

[Outro]
And don't be a fool, no
And say that you love me, girl
I know that you don't wanna hear this
So darling, don't be, don't be a fool, no
Yeah, yeah
(Thank you so much!)
(Thank you)

  • 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 [?]
