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 fineI 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, you're a fool to cry
Ooh-ooh, daddy you're a fool to cryOoh-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
