Forever Fool

I don't want to be your fool forever
I don't want to be your backdoor man
I ain't much of a forgiver/forgetter
I've had about as much of this as I can stand

Tilt the bottle way back
Don't be such a sad sack
I don't want to hear the words now or never
Sell me something real

I know what I have to do
I know what I want to do
I've nailed the coffin closed
I'm giving up the ghost

I can hear 'em saying that I should have known better
You walked all over me I took it all in stride
They say 'the courage of the coward's greater than any other'

So watch your back baby and step aside
Got you where I want you now
Love ain't what it's all about
I don't want to hear the words now or never
Sell me something real

I know what I have to do
I know what I want to do
I've nailed the coffin closed
I'm giving up the ghost

I don’t wanna be your fool forever
Forever fool, forever fool
