[Prelude]
You guys okay out there? Everyone feeling good?
[Verse 1]
You've got my heart, but I can't let you keep it, babe
'Cause I won't be sure that I can stay
This one is for my Mum and Dad
Don't waste your time trying to pull me in, yeah
'Cause I'm just a mess you don't wanna fix
Just promise me one thing that you won't forget
But for now kiss me softly before I say, yeah
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move
And don't be a fool, nah
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
[Verse 2]
And just know that I do, oh, I really like you, babe
And I wanna be there for ya, for the rest of your days, no yeah
But I know that you'll hurt if we keep on doing this
So I'm sorry to end this, but I know that it's for the best, nah nah, no
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move
And don't be a fool, babe
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
