Mr. Fool
Farewell to Foolish Love: Unveiling the Heartbreak in George Jones' 'Mr. Fool'
Lyrics
I've got a feeling you'll soon be leavin'
I anticipate that you will soon depart or leave.
But I won't beg you not to go
I won't plead or ask you not to leave.
Because I've always been
Throughout my life, I've consistently been...
A fool to cry for you.
A person who foolishly cries for you despite the circumstances.
I know this time it's really over
I am aware that this time the relationship has truly ended.
For there's no happiness in store
There's no future happiness or joy ahead.
And I will never be the fool I was before
I've learned from my mistakes and will not repeat them.
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more.
No one will be able to label or refer to me as a fool anymore.
My tears were scattered with all was shattered
My tears were shed when everything fell apart.
Dreams that faded in the past
Aspirations that vanished in the past.
Vows were spoken and vows were broken
Promises were made and subsequently broken.
But the last one was the last.
But the final broken promise was truly the last.
So I'll keep smilin' although you're leavin'
Despite your departure, I'll continue to smile.
For time will heal a heart that's sore
Time will eventually heal my wounded heart.
And I will never be the fool I was before
I've learned from my past foolishness and won't repeat it.
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more.
No one will be able to refer to me as a fool anymore.
So I'll keep smilin' although you're leavin'
Similar to line 16, despite your departure, I'll keep smiling.
For time will heal a heart that's sore
Time will eventually heal my wounded heart.
And I will never be the fool I was before
I've learned from my past foolishness and won't repeat it.
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more
No one will be able to label or refer to me as a fool anymore.
