Fool’s Errand Lyrics

[Chorus]
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you?
Did I go on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too?

[Verse 1]
You greet me with a smile
What pretty things you say
But when I want your lips
You turn away

[Chorus]
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you?
Did I go on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too?

[Verse 2]
When I'm dancing close to you
In our own special world
Why do you turn your eye
To another girl?

[Chorus]
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you?
Did I go on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too?
[Verse 3]
Have I been just a fool
Since the first day we met?
Or is it just that your
Playin' hard to get?

[Chorus]
Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you?
Did I go on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too?

[Outro]
(Did my heart send me on a fool's errand?)
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
(Did my heart send me on a fool's errand?)
I got to know, I got to know
Need ya so, Need ya so
(Did my heart send me on a fool's errand?)
Oh, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
