Sometimes a girl will come and go
You reach for love but life won't let ya know
That in the end, you'll still be lovin' her
But then she’s gone, you're all alone
I never learned to give myself
I’ve been a fool but right now I need someone else well well well
Just like boy blue I, I blow my horn
If you just lead me home, baby, I should have known
It takes a fool, to learn that love don't love nobody
It takes a fool, to learn that love don't love no one
(It takes a fool) Sometime’s you gotta suffer
(to learn that love don't love no one)
Make your bed warm gotta sleep yeah well, well
(It takes a fool to learn)
Oh yes it does that love don't love (no one) no one, no one
Sign of pain is on my face, well
My heartbeat stops but I won't take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong, somethin' went wrong, nooo
(It takes a fool) Yes, sir (to learn)
(That love don't love nobody)
Love, love, love, love, love, love
(It takes a fool) Yes it does, girl (to learn)
(That love don't love no one)
That love don't love no one
(It takes a fool to learn)
Stop to think about it, well
(That love don't love nobody)
Oh ohhh no
(It takes a fool to learn)
When you're down and out, shout about it
(That love don't love no one)
Tell the world, oooh weeee, ahhhhhh
(It takes a fool to learn)
Gotta be more careful about myself
(That love don't love nobody)
(It takes a fool to learn)
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
(That love don't love no one)
(It takes a fool to learn)
I was a fool, you were a fool
(That love don't love nobody)
Now we got love, now we need lovin'
(It takes a fool to learn)
Ooh baby, oh baby oh baby I love you now
(That love don’t love nobody)
Ah ha, whatcha say
Can we just talk for a minute?
You know ahh like I’ve always said, I’m not much of a rapper but
The truth I’ve learned from the time I was a child
You see I know from experience that
Baby you can’t color a fault. huh
And you sure can’t touch an emotion
Love, true love is to the bone
To the soul the hearts the home and uh
I just got to explain to you how I feel
'Cause you see I’ve been a fool, but now I, now I love you and uh
(It takes a fool to learn)
I learned baby, I learned to learn
(That love don't love nobody)
Well, well, well, well
(It takes a fool to learn)
There’s been many who wanted to know
(That love don’t love no one)
But oh oh you helped me learn about it
(It takes a fool to learn)
Now you know I gotta tell the world about it
(That love don’t love nobody)
