She don't know it she's a lucky girl Got the best thing in the whole wide world Got a love that's hard to find Got the boy I wish was mine, But, she's a fool She's a fool She has his love but treats him cruel He don't know it but she cheats on him With a boy like that it's such a sin I would never be untrue I would never make him blue But, she's a fool She's a fool She has his love but treats him cruel I know there is a gonna come a day He will tell her girl be on your way Maybe then he'll turn to me Then how happy I will be, that She's a fool She's a fool She has his love but treats him cruel She's a fool She's a fool She has his love but treats him cruel She's a fool She's a fool
