I don't wanna be a fool,
I don't wanna be a fool for love
No, no, I won't, no
Hey, no, ooh...
I know that people
do go through changes, yeah
But this just don't make no damn sense
If we're gonna keep sayin'
 we love one another, yeah, yeah
Well, then we better
stop fightin and arguin'
'Cause baby, I've
 heard “I'm sorry”
too many, many times before
Now I know better
It hurts to hold on to
this kind of love even more
No, I'm not crazy
I won't be a fool, a fool for love
'Cause I know I'd rather be alone
than be here unhappy
I'm not gonna choose, choose for you
'Cause I know I'd rather
be alone than be here unhappy

I know it's time to go
when I feel lonely
When I'm layin' in your arms
and it don't feel right, oh
'Cause every time I feelin' up you
try to bring me down
So I feel good knowin'
 I don't need you around
'Cause I know, I know that
I can feel this bad all by myself
And maybe that's my best bet
Startin' this time
I'm gonna think selfishly
And never depend on someone else
 for keepin' me happy, oh, no, no
I won't be a fool, a fool for love
'Cause I know I'd rather
be alone than be here unhappy, oh, no
I'm not gonna choose, choose for you
'Cause I know I'd rather
be alone than be here unhappy, oh...
～music～
I-I-I-I won't be a fool,
a fool for love
'Cause I know I'd rather
be alone than be here unhappy
I'm not gonna choose, choose for you
'Cause I know I'd rather be alone
than be here unhappy, ooh, yeah
I'm never gonna be a fool for love
I'd rather be alone, just give it up
Don't make no sense to be in love
And be here unhappy, oh, no
It might feel good on a lonely night
But layin' in your arms
today ain't right
I'd rather lose you than lose my mind
And be here unhappy with you, baby
Ho...no, no, no...
I don't wanna be a fool
I don't want to be a fool
