Any old fool could say they love you (yes, they could)
Any old fool could say they care (they sure could)

Can they show you? (Can they show you, baby?)
Can they show you, baby? (Oh, will they show you, baby?)

Any old fool with two lips could say they love you
Say they understand, true
But when it comes to paying for what their mouth has ordered
They only seem to abandon you

Any old fool could say they love you (yes, they could)
Any old fool could say they care (they sure could)

Can they show you? (Can they show you, baby?)
Can they show you, baby? (Ooh, will they show you, baby?)

I'm not like them other guys
I know right from wrong
But I still make mistakes, what you want with that?
If you wouldn't take me home

Any old fool could say they love you (yes, they could)
Any old fool could say they care (they sure could)

Can they show you? (Can they show you, baby?)
Can they show you, baby? (Oh, will they show you, baby?)

Ooh (any old fool)
Oh, I'm not a fool (any old fool)
No, I'm not a fool (any old fool)
I'll treat you right, now, baby

Any old fool could say they love you (yes, they could)
Any old fool could say they care (you know they would)
Any old fool could say they love you (they'll say they love you)
Any old fool could say they care (they'll say they need you)

Can they show you? (Show you, baby?)
Can they show you, baby? (Oh, will they show you, baby?)
Can they show you? (Can they show you, baby?)
Can they show you, baby? (Ooh, will they show you, baby?)

(Can they show you?) Can they get done (ooh, ooh) what you need done?
(Can they show you, baby?) Can they give love (ooh, ooh) the way you want?
(Can they show you?) Will they climb mountains (ooh, ooh) and swim through rivers to face your love?
(Can they show you, baby?) Will they do work (ooh, ooh) to heal their wounds and sing love's tune?
Oh, baby (ooh, ooh)
