[Verse 1]
When I come home, baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she said
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
She whispered in my ear so sweet
You know what she said? She said

[Chorus]
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
Daddy, you're a fool"

[Verse 2]
You know, I've got a woman (Daddy, you're a fool)
And she live in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She said, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she said? She said

[Chorus]
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
Daddy, you're a fool to cry"
(Oh, I love you so much, baby)
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry
Daddy, you're a fool to cry"

[Bridge]
Yeah, she said
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"
She said
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry"
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry"
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry"
Even my friends say to me sometimes
I make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say? They say

[Chorus]
Ooh, "Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why" (Why, why)

[Outro]
I'm a fool, baby, yeah
I'm a fool, babe, ah yeah
I'm a certified fool, ay ay, yeah
Want, want to tell you, to tell you, babe
I'm a fool, baby, ah yeah, woo
I'm a certified fool, babe, ah, ah, yeah
C'mon, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
I'm a fool

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
