Well, when I come home, baby

And I've been working all night long

I put my daughter on my knee

And she says, mummy, what's wrong?

She whispers in my ear so sweetly

And you know what she says?

She says

Mummy, you're a fool to cry

You're a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why

Baby, I'm wondering why, why

You know I got a baby

He lives in the poor part of town

I go and see him sometimes

And we make love so fine

And I put my head on his shoulder

And he says, tell me all your troubles

And I'll tell you mine

Daddy, I'm a fool to cry

I'm a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder

Daddy, I'm a fool to cry

I'm a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder

I'm a fool, baby

I'm such a fool, baby

[Incomprehensible]

Baby, I'm a fool to cry

I'm a fool to cry

It makes me wonder why

Such a fool, baby

I'm a fool, baby

Such a fool, baby
