Lyrics:

My baby come home last night, she looked at me real cool
Said Tom you ain't nothin' but an overgrown fool
I'm goin' leave you, I'm goin' leave you behind
I said baby let me tell you, a good fool is hard to find

Now baby if you leave Tommy it would hurt him to his soul
I just can't understand why a woman can be so cold
But a good fool, a good fool's hard to find
Take a lesson from me baby, a good fool's hard to find

That night she left me, I didn't have much to lose
She left me nothin' Coco but a pair of thin soled shoes
I said a good fool, good fool is hard to find, that's what I said
Take a lesson from me baby, a good fool is hard to find

Listen to me baby, I think you should be told
When they made your man Tommy, somebody went and broke the mold
A good fool, a good fool's hard to find
Take a lesson from me baby, a good fool is hard to find
