When I come home baby

And it makes me wonder why."

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."

"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
and it makes me wonder why."

Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
