A song about depression...
When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
"Daddy what's wrong?"
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."
You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
and I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles."
You know what she says? She says
"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
and it makes me wonder why."
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why."
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
Good tune
‘Stones will never stop Rolling...
That’s definitely a song I can’t imagine coming from any other group.
Ah, memories. The music of my youth...
cheers and thanks!
My teenage kids thought they were clever as never before when they heard that song on the car radio with me signing along in a high Mick Jagger falsetto...
“”Daddy you’re a fool to cry...”
They laughed and shortened it to just “”Daddy you’re a fool...”
Hell I’d go see again easy
Maybe they will come back to music city again
I like that stones Era...the production is flawless but still has soul.
Saw the Stones several times in my life but never saw them perform that piece! The YouTube video 'live' with Mick at the keyboard tells me it's not an EZ tune to do!
Brilliant band, amazing songwriters/composers.
Unreal live.
