Lyrics
Sometimes a girl, will come and go
You reach for love, but life won’t let ya know
That in the end, you’ll still be lovin’ her
But then she’s gone, you’re all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My heartbeat stops
But I won’t take the blame, no, no
I gave her all the love I have within’
My love was strong
Somethin’ went wrong, no!
It takes a fool (yes sir) to learn
That love don’t love nobody
Love love love…
It takes a fool (yes it does, girl) to earn
That love don’t love no one
That love don’t love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don’t love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When you’re down and out, shout out about it, tell the world
That love don’t love no more
Oh babe!
No more…
Ohhhh
It takes a fool to learn
Gotta be more careful about myself
That love don’t love nobody
It takes a fool (woah baby) to learn
Took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
That love don’t love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don’t love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn
