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.
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.
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.

Just brilliant. Brilliant.
The best vocalist in history. Etta I love you!
Thanks to Adele for discovering this amazing singer!!!
I’ve never been one to cry at movies or in front of people unless it’s someone I love or family but music is something else and this song will forever speak to me. Forever Etta James. Rest In Peace♥️
Etta is soul. She just touches your heart like nobody else.
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...
Wow, you worded that feeling beautifully.
Oh this song got me feeling deep tonight :( fool that I am...
Classical music of unrequited love.
Thank U Etta
Thanks for Adele Etta!
smooth stuff from a sophisticated soul I adore this and can relate
the perfect tone for this kind of music
this song it's about me in the love.
What a voice. What a soul. What humanity. What? What.
<3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.......
You gave me a lot to think baby.....
Etta i love you........;-))
La versión de Adele no es mala pero no le llega ni a los tobillos a Etta
Pienso lo mismo.
adele tiene una voz increíble
I love this song, totally addicted 💋
it hurts... so bad, but I still care..
Listening to Etta sing this song, these lyrics, is like looking in the mirror.
ugh sing to me Etta SING TO ME
Genial! :3 significado de tranquilidad.........
tranquilidad? probablemente no entiendes la letra pq de tranquilidad no tiene absolutamente nada :s
I love it!!!
does anyone know what key this is in? i'm terrible with theory.
Etta always..
HOLY BEEP! How did I think that Adele could compare?! Woof!!! FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Etta's voice on this reminds you that there is a heaven, but sometimes it can be hell.
Beyonce.....................ain't shit.
Wrong, she might not be an Etta but no one is. Ms B can sing.
@Vic Damico you suck
Go back to your crib before I tell you mommy.
Sensacional!
A really good singer dam she could singer ya better then the piano
Sensacional! Amo!!! :)
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.
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.
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.
Love your voice ETTA JAMES
Many of us came here due to Adele,, Etta is perfect!
I'm sorry I love Etta James but the piano and percussion in the background sound out of rhythm with her singing.
its the blues its suppose to sound like that
Incrível.
this is my song !
Esta cancion es maravillosa, sensual y dulce
I need a drink, and think about my past relationships
Am I the only one who found out that old music always nice ?
One of the ballads of all time sung by the great etta --- a great singer sings
They don't make em like this anymore
Love this song so much... And love her
LOVE HER!
