Linda Ronstadt

Songwriter: Jack Wolf Frank Sinatra Joel Herron

Producer: Peter Asher

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
Then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong
It must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
Then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong
It must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you
