I'd Still Play the Fool

(Ben Weisman - Edna Lewis)

Though you told me lies and left when I cried
Took my trusting heart and tore it apart
I'd run back to you if you'd just say when
If I had it to do all over again.

Though you gave your charms to so many arms
Loved me for a day then threw me away
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again.

It's the old old story of the moth and a flame
Though you've burned me darling I want you just the same
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again.

I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again.

I'd still play the fool, I'd still play the fool...
