Lyrics

At last I wake up to see what you've done

So what can I do but pack up and run

Now I know the rules

Go get yourself another fool

You say that you love me

I'm yours to command

But your kind of lovin'

My heart couldn't stand

You use me for a tool

Go get yourself another fool

And now, now that we're through

You say you meant to be true

But deep in your heart you know

That our love could never grow

I tried to believe you

That we'd never part

But your kind of lovin'

Just broke my poor heart

Now I know the rules

Go get yourself another fool

SOLO

And now, now that we're through

You say you meant to be true

But deep in your heart you know

That our love could never grow

Well I tried to believe you

That we'd never part

Your kind of lovin'

Just broke my poor heart

But I know the rules

Go get yourself another fool

Yeah you better get yourself

Get yourself

Better get yourself another fool

Go ahead and get yourself

Get yourself

Get yourself another fool
