Ain't Nothin' But a Fool

Last time’s comin’ round again

Lord he’s on another binge

Listen how, this rooster crows, at dawn

Another empty promise, comin’ on

I’ve been on this train a thousand times

Charmed by many a loving lie

Thick, like sweet molasses on the tongue

But honey child your ramblin’ days are done

You say you will but you won’t

Say you do but you don’t

And I can not, do this no more

You ain’t nothin’ but a fool, nothin’ but a fool

I know everything you’ve done

And I’ve watched this slowly setting sun

Fade, into a shade, of misty grey

But it’s time to give you up, and walk away

You say you will but you won’t

Say you do but you don’t

And I can not, do this no more

You ain’t nothin’ but a fool, nothin’ but a fool

And when I turn and walk away

I’m sure you’ll think of what to say

But I’ll be long, long, long gone

Cause you ain’t nothin’, nothin’

Nothin’, nothin’, nothin’

Nothin’, nothin’, but a fool
