Hmm, maybe I’m a fool for loving you so
And maybe, maybe I’m a fool, I don’t, I don’t really know
Hmm, but I can’t, I can’t stop loving you darling, oh yes
Though I tried, oh yes
And maybe, maybe your goodbye was so mean, so mean and unfair
Though you made me cry, my love’s still there
Hmm, and I know, I know that I’ll long for your kisses, oh, till I die
Oh yes until I die
Well, I said all of my friends
All of my friends have told me
They said, «Aretha, why don’t you find
You really need to find somebody new», yeah, oh, oh, yeah
But what they don’t know
What they just don’t know is in my heart
I’d be wishing, oh, that that someone was you
So, oh, it’s all for you to decide
If you should decide to trap me once more
All you got to do, all you got to do is knock on my door
And I said, I said, I’m taking you back
Yeah, taking you back would be foolish
Then maybe, oh, maybe I’m a fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
