A Fool for Loving You

When I was but a young naive teenager, I wrote this song. I was a romantic at heart. Still am. Somewhere in our family reunion home movies forty-some years ago, there’s a video of me singing it. 🙂
This song is an excerpt from my poetry e-book Losing Love.

A Fool for Loving You

I called you up the other day
Just to see how you’ve been
And talking with you, let me know
I’m in love with you again
We hadn’t talked for a while
I thought that we were through
But talking with you, let me know
My love for you is true

Every time I hear your voice
I know it must be true
I’m just a tenderhearted fool
A fool for loving you

I saw you just the other day
With a lady by your side
You’ve got to come on back to me
My love, I just can’t hide
All this time, we’ve been apart
I’ve thought of all we’ve shared
You’ve got to come on back to me
You knew I always cared

Every time I see your face
I know it must be true
I’m just a tenderhearted fool
A fool for loving you

Memories of you are coming back
They’re distant, but they’re clear
The way you held me, oh, so tight
I want you, oh, so near
All the time we spent alone
The things we used to do
The way you held me, oh, so tight
I wish that we weren’t through

Every time I think of you
I know it must be true
I’m just a tenderhearted fool
A fool for loving you

Now my life is just a mess
There’s nothing more to do
But sit around and cry a lot
Because I can’t have you

Every time I think of you
I know it must be true
I’m just a tenderhearted fool
A fool for loving you
