Your mem'ry always brings out the fool in me

I can't deny I love you more than life

But so many times before I should have said goodbye

Still I know I'll never be completely free

There's something holding on to you it's the fool in me

I've tried to keep my feelings for you locked up tight

But the thoughts I have of you just won't be denied

And no one knows that you remain my destiny

Until I grow too weak and they see the fool in me

Yes the fool in me keeps hanging on to you

Even after all this hurtin' that you can't be through

And I can't escape the past I know I can't be free

Cause your mem'ry always brings out the fool in me

Yes your mem'ry always brings out the fool in me
