Lyrics:

When I come home, baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she said
'Daddy, what's wrong?'
She whispered in my ear so sweet
You know what she said? She said

'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've 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 said, 'Tell me all your troubles'
You know what she said? She said

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
Daddy, you're a fool to cry'

Yeah, she said
Ooh, 'Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why'
She said
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
Ooh, 'Daddy, you're a fool to cry'
Ooh, 'Daddy, you're a fool to cry'
Ooh, 'Daddy, you're a fool to cry'
Even my friends say to me sometimes
I 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, babe, ah yeah
I'm a certified fool, ay ay, yeah
Want, want to tell you, to tell you, babe
I'm a fool, baby, ah yeah, woo
I'm a certified fool, babe, ah, ah, yeah
C'mon, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool
