(instrumental intro)

Hmmm
Maybe I'm a fool
For loving you so
Hmmm
And maybe I'm a fool
I don't, I don't really know
But I can't
I can't stop loving you
Darling, oh no
Though I tried, oh yes

And maybe your goodbye
Was so mean
So mean and unfair
Though you made me cry
My love's still there, oh yea
And I know, I know
That I'll long for your kisses, oh
Until I die
Oh yes, oh yes, I die

Hmmm
I said all of my friends
All of my friends have told me
They said
"Aretha, you need to find
You really need to find
Somebody new"
Yeah, oooh yeah
But what they don't know
What they just don't know
Is in my heart
I'd be wishing, oh
That that someone was you

So, oh, so if you should decide
If you should decide
To trap me once more
All you got to do
All you got to do is knock on my door
And I said
I said if taken you back
If taking you back would be foolish
Then maybe, maybe, maybe I'm a fool
Oh yeah maybe I'm just a fool
Oh yeah and I said if taking you back
Oh if taking you back would be foolish
Then maybe, oh maybe I'm a fool
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
