Natalie Cole: Nothin' But A Fool

By B. Amesbury

So what do you think

Maybe he'll buy you a drink

And run his fingers through your hair

Apologize for having to stare

But he's never seen such a face

What's it doing in such a place

Says he knows a little spot

That he thinks you'll like a lot

So he takes you in his car

Background repeats (Hoo, hoo, hoo)

Says it isn't far

And you end up at his home

Ah, but you knew that's where you were going

And he turns his stereo on

Makes you feel like you belong

And you end up in his bed

You're great was all he said

Chorus:

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

If you think that he loves you

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

If you think that he cares

You're nothin' but a fool

If you think that he wants you

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

If you think he cares

Yeah, yeah

So he lights a cigarette

Background repeats: (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Turns on the tv set

And you just want to be held for a while

He don't even wanna smile

So you try to tell a joke

He just lights another smoke

It's getting colder in that bed

You're great was all he said

Background repeats chorus

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

You silly fool

If you think that he loves you

Ah, you're nothin' but great big fool

If you think he cares

You're nothin' but a fool, yes you

If you think that he wants you

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

If you think he cares

Musical Interlude

Just a silly fool, ha

Never thought it would happen to you

Oh, ho, ho, ho

Background repeats (Hoo, hoo, hoo)

Now you'd really love stay

But he says he's got a busy day

And he'll call you tomorrow night

You make sure he's got your number right

He gives you money for a cab ride home

Suddenly you're all alone

Waiting for his call

And you're staring at the wall

Ah, you're nothin' but a fool

Background repeats chorus

If you think that he loves you

Ah, you're nothin' but a fool

Silly fool, ha

You never thought it would happen to you

(You're nothin' but a fool)

If you think that he wants you

Oh you're nothin' but a fool

If you think that he cares

You're nothin' but a fool

If you think that he loves you

Oh, you're nothin' but a fool

If you think he cares

You're nothin' but a fool...
