Lyrics:

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
(Daddy, you're a fool)
And she live 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
Oh, I love you so much, baby
Daddy, you're a fool to cry
I get sad sometimes, baby
Daddy, you're a fool to cry

Yeah, 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'
Why, why

I'm a fool, baby, yeah
I'm a fool, baby, yeah, yeah
I'm a certified fool, yeah, yeah
Gotta tell ya, got to tell ya, baby
I'm a fool, baby, yeah
Woo, certified fool for ya, come on, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool
