A Fool Like Me - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

You’ve been hanging around from the get-go

Honey, we had some fun

But now it’s time for you to put on them shoes

And go back to where you came from

It’s hard for me to be honest

But honey‚ I’m telling you the truth

With what you’ve got and what I’m not

You could put it all to better use

I can’t love somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me

A little sweetie-pie with stars in her eyes

Exactly what I don’t need

If you don’t wanna get your heart broke

You oughta have enough sense to leave

'Cause you don’t want to be somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me

No‚ I don’t want to meet your daddy

Your daddy‚ he don’t want to meet me

I don’t want to get caught

Pickin' the fruit off of the family tree

You gonna thank me later

Honey, you wait and see

'Cause you don’t wanna be somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me

I can’t love somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me

A little sweetie-pie with stars in her eyes

Exactly what I don’t need

If you don’t wanna get your heart broke

You oughta have enough sense to leave

How can I love somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me?

No Honey, you don’t wanna be somebody

Who would fall for a fool like me
