Songwriter: Diane Warren

Producer: Big Baby Scumbag Suga Mike

Packed up all the pain
Left the tears outside my door
And I'm not gonna be the one
Who's left out in the rain no more
I see it so clearly
The writing is on the wall
Telling me I'm gonna be alright after all
Now I've opened my eyes
And I'm finally wise
No, no, no fool no more

No fool no more
Not like before
Not the way it used to be
No fool no more
No tears this time
'Cause this time, I'm wise
To the game that's been going on
And I'm not gonna be no fool no more

Ooh, ooh, no fool
No room for sad regrets
'Cause the past is done and gone
And I learned that it's time that makes you wise
And truth that makes you strong
You thought you were so cool
Pulled the wool right over my heart
Now you see that you can't keep this heart in the dark
'Cause I see through your lies
Won't be blind one more time
No, no, no fool no more

No fool no more
Not like before
Not the way it used to be
No fool no more
No tears this time
'Cause this time, I'm wise
To the game that's been going on
And I'm not gonna be no fool no more

Gonna pull my heart together
Gonna leave the past behind
Gonna get to something better
Put you out of my mind
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be fine
I just want you to know
That I'm not gonna be no fool no more

No fool no more
Not like before
Not the way it used to be
No fool no more
No tears this time
'Cause this time, I'm wise
To the game that's been going on
And I'm not gonna be no fool no more

No fool no more
Not like before
Not the way it used to be
No fool no more
No tears this time
'Cause this time, I'm wise
To the game that's been going on
And I'm not gonna be no fool no more

No fool no more
Not like before
Not the way it used to be
No fool no more
No tears this time
'Cause this time, I'm wise
To the game that's been going on
And I'm not gonna be no fool no more

En Vogue

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
