Fool Says Lyrics

Hey, I ain't never met anyone like you before
I ain't never met anyone like you before
I thought all the good ones were gone
you're here to tell me I was wrong

Hey, you ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
They told you all romantic fools had died
I'm here to tell you that they lied

You can't be always right my friend
Come on and tell me I got it wrong again!

Hey, I ain't never seen anything like this before
I ain't never seen anything like this before
I thought all the mystery was gone
You're here to tell me I was wrong

You can't be always right, my friend
Come on and tell me I got it wrong again

Hey, you ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
They told you all romantic fools had died
I'm here to tell you that they lied

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My favorite sont of M's hands down. I feel that it comes off at first like being a song summed up in the phrase "Love is Bliss" But I don't think anymore that it's just about a man loving a woman and her feeling the same. I picture it as a man who has met a woman and knows that if she just gave him the chance, they could have a great relationship.. but somethings stopping her from committing. Whether she's out of his league or what, that's just my thoughts on this song.

being an older guy,34... ahem. this song was appropriate for me and my girlfriend, she's 29. and when you are old you do think all the good ones are gone.

but sometimes the good ones are just waiting for the right person.
