I'm a fool to want you-u-, 
I'm a fool to want you-,
To want a love that can't be [bad word] 
love that's there for others too.

I'm a fool to hold you-u-,
Such a fool to hold you-u-,
To seek a kiss not mine alone,
To share a kiss the devil has known.

Time and time again I said I'd leave you,
Time and time again I went away,
Then [bad word] the time when I would [lead|need] you
And once again these words I'd have to say:

"I'm a fool to want you-u,
Pity me, I need you-u,
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong,
But right or wrong - I can't get along without you-..."

(Orchestra interlude)

Time and time again I said I'd leave you,
Time and time again I went away,
Then [bad word] the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say:

"I'm a fool to want you-u,
Pity me, I need you-u,
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong - I can't get along without you-u-".
