Holiday, Billie - I'm A Fool To Want You Lyrics






I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you

  1. J.... K....

    Chloe and Halle have really a good music taste in music.....

  2. K.... W....

    Love saves us, love annihilates us. No middle ground.

  3. F.... a....

    I am a fool to want you ❤ how nice melody n lycric

  4. R.... ....

    :::🥀:::❤:::🙏🏾

  5. �.... ....

    What a great song!

  6. S.... P....

    If this song doesn't tear you up, you need to check your pulse

  7. J.... ....

    This song breaks me completely

  8. M.... T....

    Why ???

  9. O.... E....

    Billie Holiday is a legent❤

  10. G.... C....

    122 pollici in giù .. Siete sicuramente degni di ascoltare Sanremo

  11. m.... n....

    Garalgal na ang voice niya dito, gaya ni Whitney Houston, at the later years of their life, affected na ang quality ng voice nila dahil sa drugs, nakalalungkot.

  12. a.... ....

    whoever from any place on earth wouldn't say Billie is a singer above just singing well?

  13. S.... M....

    I would say that the most emotional moment was her listening to the playback of "I'm a Fool to Want You." There were tears in her eyes ... After we finished the album I went into the control room and listened to all the takes. I must admit I was unhappy with her performance, but I was just listening musically instead of emotionally. It wasn't until I heard the final mix a few weeks later that I realized how great her performance really was. (Ray Ellis)

  14. C.... C....

    😫😩 her voice

  15. C.... C....

    💖💖💖💖

  16. R.... B....

    Hard to say if she’s talking about a man, about drugs, about the white oppressive world, or just all of it.

  17. N.... P....

    Who are here, because of Angelina Jordan ?
    😉

  18. M.... T....

    Why do I want you ???

  19. D.... S....

    But time and time again I would leave you...
    but then there would come a time when,. I would need you...

    hard to get through this part of the song ... Wow. Dammmm.

  20. G.... T....

    There is so much life in her voice in this album.

    G.... T....

    Germono Toussaint Word!

  21. S.... ....

    Chanel number 5

  22. J.... C....

    makes you cry like a baby. this woman was beyond singing, she painted with her voice.

    J.... C....

    Lady Day, Gave us her heart ❤️💖✨ And we were not worthy of her.. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

  23. M.... T....

    Sajnos így van....

  24. F.... S....

    Black rose- Has-lo (mellow music group) I think sampled this. Complete luck that I found it to be honest

  25. M.... T....

    Ez így van...

  26. G.... G....

    People: dont come here to compare with any new "artist" that are in another level. Billie is untouchable. At that time there were no autotune, or good microphones, or anything for that matter. Dont compare her to people that are only copying stuff, and have no soul or originality in their voices or styles.

    G.... G....

    I do agree with you!! Best regards from Argentina

    G.... G....

    By the time this album was recorded, the fabulous Neumann U47 microphone was being used in major recording studios, and the singers of that day were so good that they didn't need autotune. But I totally agree with the general meaning of what you're saying here. There are only a few who can do this anymore. Lady Gaga is one of them.

    G.... G....

    @CRISTINA ACEVEDO hey Argentina 🇦🇷 greetings!! :)

  27. R.... D....

    I love you Billie

  28. �.... ....

    This her best song i ever heard,

  29. D.... S....

    Dammmm. Shitttt. Billie..
    I can listen to this song without crying..
    If this Billie doesn't touch you here ..I think you better check your pulse , you might be Dead..
    Reading the commits help, at least I know I am not crazy...

  30. d.... ....

    Voz espetacular, única, envolvente - me faz divagar no tempo.

    d.... ....

    Te transporta,,,,a otro espacio en el tiempo,,,,

  31. B.... S....

    A magical captivating beautifull lady, she really is the one and only that can sing like this, be blessed my dear.

  32. M.... T....

    That's true !!!

  33. N.... ....

    It’s not her voice that’s singing this masterpiece, it’s the sum total of her life experience. There is no faking a dimension of this caliber.

    N.... ....

    One Word WINSOME 🍀

  34. P.... ....

    I adore you Billie since forever! The way she curls the words « a love that cain’t be true » in the opening leaves me shakin’!

  35. H.... ....

    Her singing is how I feel about life sometimes. It's a beautiful disaster

  36. M.... A....

    Chanel n5 brought me here

  37. R.... S....

    Miss Holiday's voice became more seasoned and intimate with her personal challenges.This is the voice that delves deeply into the unlit corridors of the human psyche and evokes the things that keep one up at night.All of the loss and despair of the last 400+years encapsulated in the ravaged beautiful voice of the greatest singer of all time.Bravissimma ! 🎼✨🙏🏼✨🎼🇨🇦

  58. G.... B....

    Her voice so broken from the years of suffering the hopelessness and despair of heroin addiction...yet it's as if she is singing to me alone..her voice is so haunting and deep and personal. Everytime I hear this the tears just creep..so beautiful.
    I pray this broken song bird is resting in heaven. Remarkable in every way.

    G.... B....

    😭 well said I felt so bad for her and how her mother was a piece of shit to her by prostituting her out as a little girl and then taking all her money and in the end that bitch didn't help Billie the way Billie helped her ungrateful ass.

    G.... B....

    so perfectly said omg
