James, Etta - Fool That I Am Lyrics






Fool that I am,
For falling in love with you.
And a, fool that I am,
For thinking you loved me, too.

You took my heart,
Then played the part of little coquette.
And, all my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette.

Fool that I am,
For hoping you'd understand.
And thinking you
Would listen, too,
And, oh, the things I had planned.

But we couldn't see eye to eye
So, darling, darling, darling,
This is goodbye.
But I still care, but I still care,
And oh, fool that I am.
Oh, but I still care,
Fool that I am.

    This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs ever written. You can feel the heartache she feels for loving someone that didn't love her back. You can sense the deception and the cracks she collected inside. This song is a letter from a shredded heart to itself...

    H.... A....

    Wow, you worded that feeling beautifully.

    Oh this song got me feeling deep tonight :( fool that I am...

  32. E.... ....

    Beyonce.....................ain't shit.

    Wrong, she might not be an Etta but no one is. Ms B can sing.

    @Vic Damico you suck

    E.... ....

    Go back to your crib before I tell you mommy.

  33. J.... A....

    Sensacional!

  34. a.... h....

    A really good singer dam she could singer ya better then the piano

  35. C.... A....

    Sensacional! Amo!!! :)

  36. l.... ....

    This is why and how I fell in love with her as a little girl. LOVED how she sang the stew outta this song and the raw emotion that you hear in her voice ..... priceless!!! LOVE and miss her.

  37. J.... A....

    We have lost the age.. when raw talent.. untouched vocals.. have been in touch with the human spirit... Etta James epitomized the deep recesses of a woman's heart.

  38. P.... B....

    Beautiful song sung by a wonderful singer. Kyle..one comment. The piano is playing more blues piano riffs than he is traditional jazz. Follow the bass line and it will make more sense of the timing.

  39. S.... F....

    Love your voice ETTA JAMES

  40. h.... m....

    Many of us came here due to Adele,, Etta is perfect!

  41. K.... S....

    I'm sorry I love Etta James but the piano and percussion in the background sound out of rhythm with her singing.

    K.... S....

    its the blues its suppose to sound like that 

  42. B.... r....

    Incrível.

  43. s.... s....

  44. M.... b....

    Esta cancion es maravillosa, sensual y dulce

  45. S.... T....

    I need a drink, and think about my past relationships

  46. T.... ....

    Am I the only one who found out that old music always nice ?

  47. M.... h....

    One of the ballads of all time sung by the great etta --- a great singer sings

  48. G.... S....
