Well, I wonder, wonder, wonder just why it is
I sit around here and I cry
Is it just because I'm too weak to take the loss?
I walk away knowin' I don't really care down deep inside

Is it just the fool in me
That keeps me hangin' on when I should've been gone?
Is it just the fool in me
Won't let me live without you
Oh honey, I think it's just the fool in me
Now baby, I think it's just the fool in me
Now darlin', I think it's just the fool in me
That keeps me hangin' on
Can't seem to help myself at all

And I have promised, I have promised
I made promises to myself, I won't stay no longer
Every time I say I had enough, I start to step and my shoes get stuck
All I seem to do is stand and say I want you

Is it just the fool in me
Keeps me hangin' on when I should've been gone
Is it just the fool in me
Won't let me live without you
Oh honey, I think it's just the fool in me
Now baby, I think it's just the fool in me
Now darlin', I think it's just the fool in me
Keeps me hangin' on
Can't seem to help myself at all

And I have promised, I have promised
I made promises to myself, I won't stay no longer
Every time I say I've had enough, I start to step and my shoes get stuck
All I seem to do is stand and say I want you

Is it just the fool in me
Keeps me hangin' on when I should've been gone
Is it just the fool in me
Won't let me live without you
Oh honey, I think it's just the fool in me
Now baby, I think it's just the fool in me
Now darlin', I think it's just the fool in me
Keeps me hangin' on
Can't seem to help myself at all
