Lyrics I Was A Fool To Care - Live 1976 - James Taylor

I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
Yeah, but I don't care
Even if I was a fool
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
'Cause love is so unwise
Yeah, and love has no eyes
It took a while for a fool to see
What his friends were on about

That I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care, yeah
But I don't care
Even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you

Imagining your face
It almost fills the empty space before me
I can see your eyes
And almost hear your lovely lies, lies

I wish I was an old man
And love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
I wish I was a freight train
Moving down the line
Just keeping track of time
Without all these memories

'Cause I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
Baby, I don't care
Even if I was a fool
I'm still in love with you
Baby, yes I am

I should have opened my eyes
I could have seen through your lies
Should have stood for no more
I should have walked out the door

But I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
A country fool to care, baby
Whoa

You weren't nothing but a fool to care
Just a country fool to care
You weren't nothing but a fool to care
Just a country fool to care
Weren't nothing but a fool to care
Just a country fool to care, baby
You weren't nothing but a fool to care
Just a country fool
