You've got my heart
But I can't let you keep it, babe
'Cause I won't be sure that I can stay
And don't waste your time
Trying to pull me in
'Cause I'm just a mess you don't wanna fix
Just promise me one thing that you won't forget
But for now, kiss me softly before I say
And don't be a fool
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move
And don't be a fool
And say that you love me
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
And just know that I do
Oh, I really like you, babe
And I wanna be there for you
For the rest of your days
But I know that you'll hurt
If we keep on doing this
So I'm sorry to end this now
But I know that it's for the best
Don't be a fool
And wait on me, darling, yeah
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move
And don't be a fool, yeah
And say that you love me
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
I don't think you'll ever understand
I don't think you'll ever understand
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But darling, please don't be a fool
Oh, don't be a fool, yeah
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this
But I'm always on the move, yeah, oh
Just don't be a fool, yeah
And say that you love me, girl
'Cause you'll find a man who will stand by your side
And will be there for you
And don't be a fool
And wait on me, darling
I know that you don't wanna hear this, but
Don't be a fool
