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?" She whispers in my ear so sweet You know what she says? She says, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why Daddy, you're a fool" 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, "Ooh, 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" She says, "Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why" She says, "Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry Ooh-ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry Ooh-ooh, 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, "Ooh, daddy, 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 certified fool Gotta tell ya, baby I'm a fool, babe Certified fool for ya, come on, yeah I'm a fool
