From Black and Blue (1976) (Lyrics) When I come home baby And 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 Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why. You know, I got a woman And she lives in the poor part of town and I go 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 Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry and it makes me wonder why. Daddy you're a fool to cry Oh, I love you so much baby Daddy you're a fool to cry Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah She says, Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why. She says, Daddy you're a fool to cry Daddy you're a fool to cry Daddy you're a fool to cry Daddy you're a fool to cry Even my friends say to me sometimes And make out like I don't understand them You know what they say They say, Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why. I'm a fool baby I'm a fool baby I'm a certified fool, now I want to tell ya Gotta tell ya, baby I'm a fool baby I'm a fool baby Certified fool for ya, mama, come on I'm a fool I'm a fool I'm a fool
