I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
Oh, oh, I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
Who falls in love with you
And expects for you to be true
Oh, I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you're wondering
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
My, my, my, my, my, my, I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
'Cause she'll break your heart one day
And then she'll laugh and walk away
Oh, I pity the fool
I want you to look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Standing there, watching you make a fool of me
Just look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
Baby, baby, you know I pity the fool
La la la la la, I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
Oh, oh, I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
Who falls in love with you
And expects for you to be true
Oh, I pity the fool
Look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Look at the people
I know you're wondering
What they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
My, my, my, my, my, my, I pity the fool
Oh, I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
'Cause she'll break your heart one day
And then she'll laugh and walk away
Oh, I pity the fool
I want you to look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Standing there, watching you make a fool of me
Just look at the people
I know you're wondering what they're doing
They're just standing there
Watching you make a fool of me
Oh, I pity the fool
Baby, baby, you know I pity the fool
La la la la la, I pity the fool
