i tripped and fell over when i walked the line
i was too busy walking to pay attention to the signs
i hurried to see you when i heard it thru the grapevine
i thought you might need a hand to turn the time
a certain fool
a fool for you
he thought you loved him too
but a fool is a fool is a fool
i sped thru the city and i paid the fine
when a cop pulled me over in a twenty-five
going ninety-nine
then i got to your house and i knocked
hundreds of times,
hundreds of times
til finally i climbed to your window,
but i got tangled up in the wind chimes
a certain fool
a fool for you
he thought you loved him too,
but a fool is a fool is a fool
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
you opened your window and stuck out your head
you looked me up and down and shelved me up
like some book that you read.
you said we were better off and i
nearly fell at the words you said
i was just a believer, but i believe i am
just a fool instead
a certain fool
a fool for you
he thought you loved him too,
but a fool is a fool is a fool
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
la da dee da, if you say so - ok!
