You'd think that by now I'd learn

This whiskey's gonna burn, but I still drink it

And with every damn word

This old whitley song hurts, but I still sing it

Oh, and I know if you come back you ain't gonna stay

So if you do I'm gonna let you anyway.

Fool me again, I can take it

And unbreak my heart just so you can break it

And guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool

Playing those sad songs and playing your fool

Me again

Oh yeah...

We know what happens next

When that 2-am text

Says, "call me," and I can't ignore it

I know that you next to me

Leads to cold empty sheets in the morning

But baby, I still want it.

So fool me again, I can take it

And unbreak my heart just so you can break it

And guess who's gonna wind up right back on this stool

Playing those sad songs and playing your fool

Me again

Oh yeah...

Wanna fool me again.

Oh the whiskey and the whitley

And the habits that'll kick me

Gonna get me almost over you.

'til you fool me again and I'm gonna let ya

Walk right back in to my life for one night and re-wreck it

Guess who's still hooked on this stool

And playing those sad songs and playing your fool

'til you fool me again

Oh, won't you fool me again.
