Everybody says I’m a fool to love you
But I’d rather be the judge of that myself
You may have a heart that’s filled with hate instead of love
But I’d rather be your fool than anyone I know of

Each time friends say I must be blind
I wish they’d stop and think
You can set the wine on the table
But the man don’t have to drink
Yes I’m satisfied and I’ve got my pride
And I still possess your love
Yes I’d rather be your fool than anyone I know of
