"Been A Fool Too Long" lyrics

[Yodeling]

Should have known in laughter she would leave me
My sweetest dream of Heaven now is gone
And from crazy paradise I've just awakened
To find out that I've been a fool too long

I met her 'midst the music of a dance band
Into my arms she sweetly came along
And now this verse of mine will end in nothing
But just to say I've been a fool too long

Oh, there ain't no use in me a-cryin' "Baby," no, heh
There ain't no use in telling me I'm wrong
"Forget, forget," by gee, that's all I say now
Forget that I have been a fool too long

[Yodeling]

She'd kinda take my money and just spend it
She'd kind of tell me off when things went wrong
Until one day a little birdie whispered
"For goodness sake, don't be a fool too long"

There's lots and lots of things that I could tell you
Her name I shall not mention in this song
'Cause she's not worthy of a single sentence
Ah, but what's the use? I've been a fool too long

Oh, there ain't no use in me a-cryin' "Baby," no
There ain't no use in telling me I'm wrong
"Forget, forget," by gee, that's all I say now
Forget that I have been a fool too long
