"Benefit Of A Fool" lyrics
Tell me what
What about this woman makes me want to do right?
Want to switch it up and stay with her the whole night
I don't know
What it is, but it feels all right yeah
Lord knows I tried (Lord knows I tried)
Lord knows I tried to convince myself that it wasn't no lie (wasn't no lie)
But it wasn't no way I was lettin' this sweet love pass me by
Now I know
What it is
It was just my pride
When has love (when has love)
Benefited a fool? (benefited a fool)
I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
But everything is true
Now I know (now I know)
I know what I gotta do (I know what I gotta do)
Just stop lying to you (just stop lying, oh girl just stop lying)
And tell you the truth
'Cause when has love benefited a fool?
You were so fly, yeah
You know you should've been an angel (you know you should've been an angel)
With those diamond eyes
Girl you look good from every angle (you look good from every angle)
Now I see (now I see)
Girl all this time you've just been waiting on me (been waiting on me)
And I know I don't deserve all that I receive from your love
But you never leave no, no, no
When has love (when has love)
Benefited a fool (benefited a fool) yeah
I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
Oh but everything is true to you
Now I know (now I know)
I know what I gotta do (I know what I gotta do)
Just stop lying to you (just stop lying, oh just stop lying)
Tell you the truth
'Cause when has love benefited a fool?
Good book says that pride (Good book says that pride)
Comes before destruction (comes right before destruction)
I'd be destroyed (yeah)
If I ever lose your loving (yeah)
Girl I done changed
Know you done changed me
Give you the plane
Your love has saved me yeah ooh
When has love (when has love)
Benefited a fool (benefited a fool)
I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
But everything is true
Now I know (now I know)
I know what I gotta do baby oh (I know what I gotta do)
Just stop lying to you (just stop lying, oh oh just stop lying)
Oh oh and tell you the truth
'Cause when has love benefited a fool?
What about this woman makes me want to do right?
Want to switch it up and stay with her the whole night
I don't know
What it is, but it feels all right yeah
Lord knows I tried (Lord knows I tried)
Lord knows I tried to convince myself that it wasn't no lie (wasn't no lie)
But it wasn't no way I was lettin' this sweet love pass me by
Now I know
What it is
It was just my pride
When has love (when has love)
Benefited a fool? (benefited a fool)
I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
But everything is true
Now I know (now I know)
I know what I gotta do (I know what I gotta do)
Just stop lying to you (just stop lying, oh girl just stop lying)
And tell you the truth
'Cause when has love benefited a fool?
You were so fly, yeah
You know you should've been an angel (you know you should've been an angel)
With those diamond eyes
Girl you look good from every angle (you look good from every angle)
Now I see (now I see)
Girl all this time you've just been waiting on me (been waiting on me)
And I know I don't deserve all that I receive from your love
