Lyrics
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
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known
Time and time again I 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 had to say
I'm a fool to want you
I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you
I can't get along
Whithout you
Writer(s): John Herron, Jack Wolf, Frank Sinatra, Carolina Machado
