[Intro - soft, humming harmonies in background]
[Lead vocal, whispered] Mmm… yeah, yeah…
[Backing vocals] Ooooh, ooooh…
[Lead] Still a fool… for you, babe…
[Verse 1 - smooth and melancholic]
I see your face in every windowpane, (Ohhh, everywheeeere…)
Hear your name in every sad refrain, (Mmm, callin’ me back…)
Tried to move on, but the past won’t fade, (No it won’t, no it wooon’t…)
Guess I’m the fool who still remains. (Still remains, yeahhh…)
[Pre-Chorus - rising emotion, backing echoes]
They tell me love should set you free, (Set you freeee, ooooh…)
But you still got a hold on me, (Got a hold, got a hold, yeah…)
Like a shadow that won’t let go, (Won’t let go, won’t let gooo…)
Like a dream I used to know. (Ooooh, I used to knooooow…)
[Chorus - passionate, layered harmonies]
I’m just a fool for you, (Foooool for youuu, baby!)
No matter what I do, (What I doooo, yeahhh!)
I play it cool, but it ain't true, (No it ain’t, nooo it aaaain’t…)
Still lost in love I thought I knew. (Thought I knew, thought I knooow…)
[Verse 2 - soft at first, then builds up]
You dance with ghosts, and I just watch, (I just watch, I just waaatch…)
Chasing memories I can’t stop, (Can’t stop, can’t stop, nooo…)
Your voice still lingers in the air, (Ooooh, in the aaair, yeah!)
Like a song that ain't really there. (Not even theeeere, oh nooo…)
[Pre-Chorus - more urgency, pleading vocal style]
They say with time the heart will heal, (Heart will heal, will it heaaal?!)
But I’m still stuck behind the wheel, (Still stuck, still stuck, round and round…)
Driving circles in my mind, (In my mind, in my miiiind…)
Chasing love I’ll never find. (Never find, noooo…!)
[Chorus - more intense, falsetto ad-libs, emotional cracks in voice]
I’m just a fool for you, (Fooool for youuuu, yeah!)
No matter what I do, (No matter, no matter, noooo…)
I play it cool, but it ain't true, (Ain’t truuue, ain’t truuue, yeahhh!)
Still lost in love I thought I knew. (I thought I knoooooow, yeahhh!)
[Bridge - Almost A Cappella, soft backing harmonies, raw lead vocals]
[Lead, near whisper] Maybe one day, I’ll break free… (Mmm, maybe one day…)
[Soft backing vocals, ghostly echoes] Break free, break free…
[Lead, aching voice] Find the man I used to be… (Used to beeee, ohhh…)
[Backing vocals, swelling slightly] Used to be, used to be…
[Lead, voice cracks with emotion] But tonight, I’ll play the part… (The part, the paaaart…!)
[Lead, quiet but intense] I thought I knew love, but I was wrong... (Ohhh, so wrong…)
[Big vocal break, falsetto cry-out] Of a fool with a broken heart… (Ooooh-oh-oh-ohhh!)
[Outro brief, emotional breakdown with vocal ad-libs]
I’m just a fooool (just a fool)
Still lost in love I thought I knew (I thought I knew)
I’m just a foooool (fool for youuuu…)
I play it cool… but it ain’t true (nooo)
[Whispered ad-lib]
Maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way (Mmm…)
[Fading with soft guitar and harmonies]
[Backing vocals)]Oooooh
[Lead] I’m just a fool for you (For you)
[Slow fade-out with vinyl crack]
