How Long Must This Fool Pay

I know I said I didn’t care
I left and left you standing there
I was such a child to act that way
I believe the lies they said
I should have trusted you instead
I was such a fool that day
but tell me how long must this fool pay
Now I know I was so wrong
you were with me all along
and I apologize for my mistake
should I get down on my knees
begging baby baby please
come back
you’re making my heart break
tell me how long must this fool pay
how many tears must I cry to wash away the wrongs I’ve done
don’t you realize darling you’re the only one
please won’t you come back and take me by the hand
please won’t you come back, still my loving man
I’ll treat you good
darling do you hear what I say
tell me how long must this fool pay
