  • You know where I can be found
    Don't you know I'll be waiting
    By the telephone, girl

    While you're out
    Running around, yeah
    I'm sitting home all alone

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    You can't be kind to me, girl
    You always treat me bad, girl
    But I can't let you go, I know
    It would only make me sad

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    You treat me just like dirt
    You have all the fun
    I stay at home and hurt

    Baby, I wish I knew, yeah
    Just how to get you
    Off my mind, girl

    To put you down and
    Say we're through, yeah
    I think about you all the time

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    Baby, I wish I knew, yeah
    Just how to get you
    Off my mind, girl

    To put you down and
    Say we're through, yeah
    I think about you all the time

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    I'm a fool, I'm a fool
