Lyrics:

I pity the fool, I said I pity the foolI pity the fool, I said I pity the foolThat fall in love with youAnd expects you to be trueOh, I pity the fool

Look at the peopleI know you're wondering what they're doingThey're just standing thereWatching you make a fool of me

Oh, I pity the fool, I pity the foolThat falls in love with youI pity the fool, I pity the foolMmm, that falls in love with youI pity the fool, I pity the fool

She'll break your heart one dayAnd she'll laugh and walk awayOh, I pity the fool

You'll break your heart one dayAnd then she'll laugh and walk awayOh, I pity the fool

Look at the peopleI know you're wondering what they're doingThey're just standing thereWatching you make a fool of me

Look at the peopleI said I know you're wondering what they're doingThey're just standing thereWatching you make a fool of me

Oh I pity the fool, I pity the foolThat fall in love with youI pity the fool(Yeah, I pity the fool)I pity the foolThat falls in love with you

She'll break your heart one dayAnd she'll laugh and walk away(Oh, I pity the fool)Oh yeah

Look at the people(Look at the people)I know you're wondering what they're doing(What are they doing, man?)Look, they're just standing there(They're just standing there)Watching you make a fool of me
