[Verse 1] Love, what have you done, oh wow I was sure up 'til now That she was a friend I stayed 'til the end (Don't be a fool again) I once believed that love was fair But I don't anymore She said I'm a bore My heart hit the floor (Don't be a fool anymore) [Pre-Chorus] Each time around I tell myself "It's the game of love" Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again So I'll say it 'til the end [Chorus] I just don't wanna be a fool (Don't wanna be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool ever again [Verse 2] Whenever a fool's in love He doesn't know he's to blame He's caught in the game It all ends up the same (He doesn't feel the shame) He looks at love in a different way It breaks his heart every time They all turn estranged But he'll never change (He's never gonna change) [Pre-Chorus] Oh, next time around I'll tell myself "It'll be better than before" I won't look back, there'll be no one Tearing my heart out anymore, my baby I've just decided I can't let nobody fool me again So I'll swear 'til the end [Chorus] I just don't wanna be a fool (Don't wanna be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool ever again [Bridge] (No way) I mean no more (Never again) Ooh, no never (I can't be a fool) Can't be, no way No way, no way Ooh, I don't want to be I don't want to be a fool, no (I can't love anybody walking on a one way street) Any way, any way, any way, no (If I don't find somebody, that'll be alright with me) I know, I know it'll be alright now 'Cause I decided not to let nobody kill me again So I'll say it 'til the end [Chorus] I just don't wanna be a fool (Don't wanna be a fool) Said I don't wanna be a fool never, never again [Outro] (Don't wanna be a fool) Can't be a fool (Don't wanna be a fool) Ever again (I don't wanna be a fool) Never, oh never, oh never again (Don't wanna be a fool) Can't be a fool
