Lyrics
The Fool Again
By Randy Bishop (ASCAP)
©2026, Rokit Music
No need to wait for somebody else
I'm here to tell you the truth
Not gonna say what you want to hear
Even if you'd like me to
No way that I'm gonna sugarcoat it
What would be the point if I did
Sometimes a lie sounds as good as the truth
But that's not how I'm gonna live
CHORUS:
Yeah, you lied
Told me you'd try
But that was never really your plan
You just used me
So you could win
And I would be the fool again
Yeah, I was just a fool again
V2
Do you wanna hide your head in shame
Or convince me that you're not to blame
Could I believe you if you asked me to?
No matter what you've put me through
Think I've learned my lesson once and for all
I took the bait and then I took the fall
But I'm a sucker for apology calls
Especially from you
CHORUS 2:
Then you lied
Told me you'd try
But that was never really your plan
You just used me
So you could win
And I would be the fool again
Yeah, I was such a fool again
BRIDGE:
If you want forgiveness
You'll have to earn my trust
No more deception
'Cause that will be the end of us
CHORUS:
So don't lie
Tell me you'll try
If that isn't really your plan
If you want to use me
You'll never win
'Cause I won't be the fool again
No, I won't be the fool again
I won't be your fool again
