I Was a Fool to Care Lyrics

(James Taylor) 1975
I was a fool to care,
s4
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
but I don't care even if I was a fool
us4
I'm still in love with you
Had I listened to the grapevine,
I might have had my doubts
But I did my level best just to block them out
, /c# /b /a
"Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
And it took a while for a fool to see
what his friends were on about
I was a fool to care
s4
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
but I don't care even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you
Imagining your face,
aj7
it almost fills the empty space before me
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
us4
I wish I was an old man
and love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
, /c# /b /a
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
Just keeping track of time
without all these memories
I was a fool to care
s4
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
but I don't care even if I was a fool
us4
I'm still in love with you
Baby, yes, I Am
I could have opened my eyes,
I could have seen through your lies
I could have stood for no more,
I could have walked out the door
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
