Do you remember I searched you out? How I climbed your city's walls Do you remember me as devout? How I prayed for your calls I stood still, it's what I did Love like ours is never fixed I stuck around I did behave, I saved you every time I was a fool for love I was a fool for love I was a fool I was a fool Then you blamed me and blocked me out How long did you think I'd last? Then you disappeared for weeks to pout How many times could I pack? But stand still is all I did Love like ours is never fixed Still I stuck around I did behave I saved you every time I was a fool for love I was a fool for love I was a fool (I was a fool for love) I was a fool (I was a fool for love) If you’re worried That I might've changed Left behind all of my foolish ways You best be looking for somebody else Without a foolish heart A foolish heart But stand still is all we did (That's all we did) Love like ours is never fixed I stuck around I did behave, I saved you every time I was a fool for love (I was a fool for love) I was a fool for love I was a fool (I was a fool for love) I was a fool (I was a fool for love)
