Luther Vandross | Lyrics | Don't Want to Be a Fool

Love, what have you done?
Oh wow
I was sure up till now that she was a friend
I stayed till the end
(Don't be a fool again)

I once believed that love was fair
But I don't anymore
She said I'm a bore
My heart hit the floor
(Don't be a fool again)

Each time around I tell myself
It's the game of love
Ignore the signs and risk it all
In the name of love
Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it till the end
I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to be a fool
Ever again

Whenever a fool's in love
He doesn't know he's to blame
He's caught in the game
It all ends up the same
(He doesn't feel the shame)

He looks at love in a different way
It breaks his heart every time
They all turn estranged
But he'll never change
(He's never going to change)

Next time around I'll tell myself
It'll be better than before
I won't look back
There'll be no one tearing my heart out anymore
I've just decided I can't let nobody fool me again
So I'll swear till the end
I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to be a fool
Ever again

(No way)
I mean no more
(Never again)
Ooh, no never
(I can't be a fool)
Can't be
No way
No way, no way
Ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool no

(I can't love anybody)
I can't love nobody
(Walking on a one way street)
Anyway, anyway, anyway
(If I don't find somebody)
If I don't find somebody
(That'll be alright with me)
I know, I know, it'll be alright now
'Cause I decided not to let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it till the end
I just don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)
Said I don't want to be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)

Never, never again
(Don't want to be a fool)
Can't be a fool
(Don't want to be a fool)
Never again
(I don't want to be a fool)
Never, never, never again
(Don't want to be a fool)
Can't be a fool
