[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

Tegan and Sara

Tegan and Sara is a Canadian pop duo that was formed in Calgary by identical twins Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin. They both started playing guitar and writing songs under the name Plunk in 1997. They independently released their debut album Under Feet Like Ours in 1999 under the name “Sara and Tegan.”

The pair notably wrote all of their songs separately until their sixth studio album, Sainthood which features Paperback Head, the only song on the album co-written by the pair.

Both Tegan and Sara are openly gay, and are advocates for LGBTQ+ rights. In December 2016 they founded The Tegan And Sara Foundation, to fight for “economic justice, health and representation for LGBTQ girls and women.”
