You’s an Old Fool Songtext
von Spoonie Gee

Well well well
There′s that old man again
Runnin' around with those young girls
Man, if he only knew how he look
He look just like a fool
But you′s an old fool
But you's an old fool
But you's an old fool
Give it to me, y′all
You ain′t just a fool
But you's an old fool
You ain′t just a fool
But you's an old fool


You give her all your money and all your time
And at the end of the week, you ain′t got one dime to spend
You say you love her, she makes you feel young
But this only proves one thing, that you's a dumb-dumb
Age is just a number, but give me a break
She′s only 16 and you're 68, mistake
And plus you're married, ′til death do us part
Soon as you see a young lady, you′re ready to start flirtin'
Keep late hours at home and on the telephone
Talkin′ to the girl while you think she's alone
But she′s not, she's with another guy
And if you knew, you′d die
She said, "This is my friend," you said, "How ya doin'?"

You ain't just a fool, but you′s an old fool
But you′s an old fool
But you's an old fool
But you′s an old fool
Give it to me, y'all
You ain′t just a fool
But you's an old fool
You ain′t just a fool
But you's an old fool


You're wastin′ your time, plus you′re livin' a lie
Because you′ll never be able to compete with the other guy
'Cause you′re much too old, he's much younger
To her you′re like drizzlin' rain, but he's thunder
Now you tell me, who do you think she′ll choose?
I bet you nine times out of ten you lose
But you could win with your wife
′Cause she'll be with you for a lifetime
But you don′t want that, you'd rather rock babies
Why don′t you go home and eat some gravy train?
That's dog food, that′s what you deserve
If it was my daughter, brother, you would get served
There's no excuse, 'cause as a man you could fight that
Thank my heavenly father I ain′t like that

You ain′t just a fool, but you's an old fool
But you′s an old fool
But you's an old fool
But you′s an old fool
Give it to me, y'all
You ain′t just a fool
But you's an old fool
You ain't just a fool
But you′s an old fool

Now you told the girl to meet you at a disco spot
You dyed your hair and mustache to get a better shot
When you walked through the door, thought you was cool
Meanwhile behind your back, she′s callin' you a fool
Wearin′ those old clothes that's older than me
You see, she wanted to laugh, you just couldn′t see
She said, "I'm leavin′ for business, meet me at my place"
You gave her 50 dollars, and a ten dollar taste
See, you waited all night, practically until the mornin'
She came in all rumpled, stretchin' and yawnin′
You said, "I need some lovin′," she said, "It's too soon
But here′s a pillow so you can sleep in the living room"

You ain't just a fool, but you′s an old fool
But you's an old fool
But you′s an old fool
But you's an old fool
Give it to me, y'all
You ain′t just a fool
But you′s an old fool
You ain't just a fool
But you′s an old fool
