Only a Fool

Karla Bonoff

[Verse 1]
Baby, what are you trying to prove
By bein' alone?
And no one can get through to you
Is there anyone home?

[Chorus]
So don't say that it's love you lacked
I paid the price now I'm paying the tax
I gave it all, and I got nothing back
Only a fool gives a heart like that

[Verse 2]
Well, I said that you never gave enough
And I know this is true
I see now that you never gave it up
So you'd have nothin' to lose

[Chorus]
So don't say that it's love you lacked
I paid the price now I'm paying the tax
I gave it all, and I got nothing back
Only a fool gives a heart like that

[Bridge]
I know that I need you
That made you scared
If I'd known how to reach you
But I'm giving up, it's too late to care

[Verse 3]
Well, I guess that it's really over now
This is where I belong
And baby you know it's kind of funny how
All the tears made me strong

[Chorus]
So don't say that it's love you lacked
I paid the price now I'm paying the tax
I gave it all, and I got nothing back
Only a fool gives a heart like that
Oh, only a fool gives a heart like that
