| Hey, hey, hey-hey
|
| I feel good, you know why
|
| Because I’m a living witness that, uh, when patience prevails your luck will
|
| change
|
| Remeber when we first met, uh, when-when we first had our conversation
|
| When you showed me your engagement ring, you know you’re engaged to John,
|
| I congratulated you
|
| You appeared to be so happy and jolly
|
| Said he’s got thing all locked up and…
|
| He made a mistake, though — he got caught in that grass is greener sentiments
|
| now looking on the other side of the fence
|
| Neglected what he had right there and he knew
|
| And I took a big route for that too, you know I was accused
|
| Of being hung up on somebody that belonged to somebody else
|
| You know, I was for John’s girl
|
| But you know, I didn’t do anything, I just laid back and watched him blow
|
| I knew it, I knew it, I knew he was going to blow
|
| I didn’t have to raise a hand
|
| So all those nights you sat home, waiting for the phone to ring
|
| I was hanging back in the wings, visually monitoring the situation
|
| Wishing it would be me that you were longing for
|
| And finally you woke up and realized you had an alternative
|
| And of course the alternative was me
|
| I want to assure you, that you will never ever have to be lonely again
|
| You’ll always know where this man is
|
| And I’ll lavish you with more love than you ever fantasized about
|
| I’ll take care of you
|
| You know they talk about me, I took a lot of hard reps
|
| I gon make for John’s girl and he ain’t gon make it
|
| But you see who’s got the last laugh now
|
| And I have John to thank for that
|
| Yes I stand accused of, uh, what was it
|
| I stand accused then and I stand accused now of loving you
|
| And now I just wanna say
|
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go
|
| He didn’t know I needed all the things that you are
|
| And I’m willing to be
|
| What he failed to see
|
| A supporting cast for a superstar
|
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go
|
| I’m so god darn lucky, I’m just one love’s
|
| I stood patiently on the sidelines
|
| And watch this good thing unwind
|
| From now on I’m your forever
|
| 'Cause he just became your history
|
| I’m saying thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go
|
| I’ll take you for worse and for better
|
| And I’ll take you right that the fool was too dumb to take
|
| A sweet lady like you, mm
|
| Such a beautiful slice of heaven
|
| Your love is safe with me
|
| Never again will your heart break
|
| I stood patiently on the sidelines
|
| And watch this good thing unwind
|
| I’ve been what he should’ve been
|
| The right kind of lover, the right kind of friend
|
| And I said thanks, I wanna say thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool, woah
|
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go
|
| He don’t know what he had
|
| He blew a good thing and I’m so glad
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| I said thanks to the fool (for letting you go)
|
| Seems like I’ve waited for such a long time
|
| Thanks to the fool, at last you’re mine
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool (for letting you go)
|
| I’m gonna you night and day
|
| Never will you want to go away
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| I said thanks to the fool for letting you go
|
| You are the one that I’ve waited for
|
| Because you’re the one that I love
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| I wanna, I wanna say thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool (for letting you go)
|
| Now you if you only knew the day he blew your love away was my lucky day
|
| Everything’s okay
|
| That’s why I say for him today
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool
|
| Thanks to the fool for letting you go |
