Don't take me for a fool   Because I'm not the foolish kind   Well, if you had a sledge hammer   You still couldn't break my mind      Well, if I'm honest with myself baby   I've gotta say that you've got something about you   But please don't think for a minute   Lady, I couldn't get along fine without you      In my life, oh, yeah   She was in my life   And now she's out of my life   Nothing but strife   So I don't mind      Don't take me for a fool   Because I'm not that kind of man   There are rules we try to follow   But I guess you would not understand      Well, if I'm honest with myself baby   I've gotta say that you've got something about you   But please don't think for a minute   Lady, I couldn't get along fine without you      In my life, oh, yeah   She was in my life   And now she's out of my life   Nothing but strife   So I don't mind      Everything has to end, I guess this was no exception   We were gonna have to break connection   Everything has to end, I guess this was no exception   We were gonna have to break connection
