I let the pain just walk on in
And I pulled up the nearest chair
No need to say, hey, how you been

We've been friends too long to care

Baby, you're the cause

Of my sleepless nights
But it's not that
I'm about to complain


You get used to it
Sing your blues to it


(CHORUS)
Once a fool, always a fool

There's no way to change
To be rearranged anymore
Once a fool, always a fool

When you ring the bell
I can tell who you're ready for


I always find you with alibis
When I know you're the guilty one
I never ask for a reason why

You come home with the rising sun

What the use of making it harder, boy

When it's hard enough already for me

Be it right or wrong

I shall play along

(CHORUS) 2X


Once a fool, always a fool
