When I come home baby
When I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee
And she says, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
She says

Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why

Daddy, you're a fool
Daddy, you're a fool

You know I got a woman
She lives in the poor part of town
When I go to see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine

I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says?
She says

Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why

Daddy, you're a fool
Daddy, you're a fool

Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why

Hu huu
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Hu huu
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Hu huu
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Hu huu
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Cry-y
Cry-y

Even my friends say to me sometimes
I make like I don't understand
You know what they say
They say

Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
