Look at that fool, going home, to his wife
Look at that fool, he never lies out all night

He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue
Wish I could have been that kind of fool

Look at that fool, have one drink now he headin'home
Look at that fool, leavin' that beautiful lady all alone

Then go home to someone, who loves him true
Wish ol' Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

But I try, I can't do it darling
Not even for you

Woman it's not, that Jerry Lee don't love you
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool, going home to his wife
Look at that fool, he never stays out drunk all night

He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue
Wish I could have been that kind of fool

But I try, I can't do it darling
Not even for you

Woman it's not, that Jerry Lee don't love you
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool, have one drink now he headin' home
Look at that fool, he is leavin' that woman all alone

Then go home to someone, who loves him true
Wish I could have been that kind of fool
Whooh I wish Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
