I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you
Had I listened to the grapevine, I might have had my doubts
But I did my level best just to block them out
Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
And it took a while for a fool to see what his friends were on about

I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you
Imagining your face, it almost fills the empty space before me
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies

I wish I was an old man and love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
Just keeping track of time without all these memories

I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I don't care even if I was a fool- I'm still in love with you, babe, yes, I am
I could have opened my eyes, I could have seen through your lies
I could have stood for no more, I could have walked out the door

But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care, just a country fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care, just a country fool to care
