Ben E. King Walking In the Footsteps of a Fool song lyrics

With my eyes wide open I can see the danger sign.

You broke the heart before me and now you're after mine.

And with every every kiss I know that I'd take a step, mmm,

that puts me next in line. I'ma walking in the footsteps of a fool.

And he gave you all his loving and you paid him back in tears.

And now he's counting heartaches among his souvenir.

And I know I've begged, I've begged my heart, my heart to listen,

oh, but my heart just never hear. Babe, and I'm just-a walking

in the footsteps of a fool.

No, I know I just can't help my helpless heart from-a reachin' out to

you. Mmm, I'm just-a walking in his footsteps and there's not a thing

that I can do.

Oh, I know that I shouldn't love you, baby, and I know

I shouldn't stay. I'm just-a headed for a heartbreak,

but I just can't turn away. And I said that tomorrow, baby,

tomorrow I know that I'll be crying, darling darling,

the tears he cried today. Mmmh-mmmh, I'ma walking in the

footsteps of a fool. Baby, did you hear me when I said that

I'm just-a (WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A FOOL), oooh, step

by step by step by step, darling? And I said that I'm, and I know,

I know, I know that I'ma walking, I'ma walking, I'ma walking,

baby (WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A FOOL).
