Have another drink, smoke another cigarette
`Cause I can't find the answer yet
It's been a long time since comin'
And it's so hard, to keep from runnin'

It's all right for you to reach out
But baby, baby, baby don't you tear this heart out

I've been your fool for the last time
I swear to God there won't be another next time
When you hold out your hand you just gotta understand
I've been your fool

Thought I'd had about enough
To get over you and me
Then the barkeep dropped a coin
On a heartbreak melody
Ooh it came back, it all came back
Like a slap right across my face
Lord I know I can't let you go
But we can't go back to that same damn place

It's all right for you to reach out
But baby, baby, baby don't you tear this heart out

I've been your fool for the last time
I swear to God there won't be another next time...no, 
no, no
When you hold out your hand you just gotta understand
I've been your fool
Girl I've been your fool, yes I have

It don't have to be so hard
But it ain't gonna come around easy, no not so easy 
baby
If there has to be a heartbreak baby
It ain't gonna be mine...no

The next time around baby, when you find yourself in 
need
When you hold out your hand you just gotta understand
I've been your fool for the last time baby, for the 
last time
I swear to God...Lord, I swear there won't be another 
next time
When you hold out your hand you just gotta understand
I've been your, been your fool for the last time
I swear to God there ain't gonna be no next time woman
When you hold out your hand you just got to, got to 
understand
