Before I’m Fool Enough Lyrics by Crystal Gayle

Somebody Loves You

1975

I'm going away, babe, I cannot stay
It's gonna hurt for a long, long time
But I've been with you, and I've been without you
And neither way gives me any peace of mind
I may leave in the wee small hours
If I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye
But once I get the nerve up I'm going
For I'm fool enough to give it one more try
Much more than halfway, I've tried it your way
But you don't see me the way I do
You really don't want me, you want your daydreams
Simple love is all I ever promised you
So I may leave in the wee small hours
If I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye
But once I get the nerve up, I'm going
For I'm fool enough to give it one more try
Once I get the nerve up, I'm going
For I'm fool enough to give it one more try
