about

Written by annA rydeR in January 1995

lyrics

You were the one who trod on my toes
And I was the one who said sorry
Yes I was the one who laughed at your joke
But really the joke was on me
You were the one who used up my money
And I was the one who was poor
And you were the one who used up my love
And yet I still gave you more

WHO'S THE FOOL, WHO'S THE FOOL
I END UP WITH NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL

You were the one who travelled to my door
And I was the one who paid the fare
Yes I was the one who let you in
Hoping you'd always be there
You were the one who took my place
And I was the one left standing
And you were the one who slept in my bed
And I was left out on the landing

WHO'S THE FOOL, WHO'S THE FOOL
I END UP WITH NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL

You were the one who pushed me out
But I just kept coming back in
And I was the one who was always wrong
And you always knew everything
Oh I was the one who bought you the drink
And I was the one who cried
And you were the one who could never talk
No matter how hard you tried

WHO'S THE FOOL, WHO'S THE FOOL
YOU END UP WITH NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL


And who is the one sorry now
And who is the one to be crying
It's too late to change things no matter how
Hard you keep trying and trying
You were the one who used up my love
Until I did not care
So I may as well it's the only way
For it was more than I could bear

WHO'S THE FOOL, WHO'S THE FOOL
YOU END UP WITH NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL
WHO'S THE FOOL, WHO'S THE FOOL
WE END UP WITH NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL
