When [bad word] home baby
and I’ve been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee,
and she say “Daddy what’s wrong?”
she whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
She say “Oooh daddy, you’re a fool to cry
You’re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.” 

Daddy you’re a fool
You know, I got a woman
and she lives in the poor part of town
and I go see her sometimes 
and we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder 
she says, “Tell me all your troubles.”
You know what she says? 
She says “Oooh daddy you’re a fool to cry
You’re a fool to cry
and it makes me wonder why.” 

Daddy you’re a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you’re a fool to cry
Daddy you’re a fool to cry, yeah
You make me want to sigh sometimes
She says, “Oooh daddy you’re a fool to cry
You’re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.” 

She says, “Oooh daddy you’re a fool to cry
Oooo daddy you’re a fool to cry
Oooo daddy you’re a fool to cry
OoHooh daddy you’re a fool to cry
OoHooh daddy you’re a fool to cry”
Even my friends say to me sometimes 
and I make like I don’t understand them

You know what they say?
They say, “Oooh daddy you’re a fool to cry
You’re a fool to cry
You’re a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.”
