When I come home baby
And I´ve been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she says
"Daddy what´s wrong?"
I put my head on her shoulder

She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
"Daddy you´re a fool to cry
You´re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says?
She says, "Daddy you´re a fool to cry
You´re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

Daddy you´re a fool to cry

Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you´re a fool to cry
Daddy you´re a fool to cry, yeah
She says, "Daddy you´re a fool to cry
You´re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

She says, "Daddy you´re a fool to cry
Daddy you´re a fool to cry
Daddy you´re a fool to cry
Daddy you´re a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don´t understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you´re a fool to cry
You´re a fool to cry
You´re a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why"

I´m a fool baby
I´m a fool baby
I´m a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I´m a fool baby
I´m a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
I´m a fool
I´m a fool
I´m a fool
