About a Fool Lyrics
Someone standing alone on a hill
I think you're sinking, can't swim or sit still
Still he's waiting there alone
He's drowning on his own
The fool who fell in love left his heart right in the sink
She tore it all to pieces when he left it there
The fool who fell in love let his heart wash down the drain
She threw away the pieces when he left it there
Talkin' to myself
Fallin' from the shelf
Still I wonder why I ever let myself take my own advice
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice
Still he's waiting, a man on a hill
I think he's drifting, to float on the wind
Must be a fool to think he could
Bring him back to her
A fool who fell in love left his heart right in the sink
She tore it all to pieces when he left it there
A fool who fell in love let his heart wash down the drain
She threw away the pieces when he left it there
Talkin' to myself
Fallin' from the shelf
Still I wonder why I ever let myself take my own advice
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice
I think you're sinking, can't swim or sit still
Still he's waiting there alone
He's drowning on his own
She tore it all to pieces when he left it there
The fool who fell in love let his heart wash down the drain
She threw away the pieces when he left it there
Fallin' from the shelf
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice
I think he's drifting, to float on the wind
Must be a fool to think he could
Bring him back to her
She tore it all to pieces when he left it there
A fool who fell in love let his heart wash down the drain
She threw away the pieces when he left it there
Fallin' from the shelf
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice
Still I wonder why I ever let myself Take my own advice

anyways as for the song the meanings is pretty obvious and depressing... IMO their best unreleased track
i believe this song was written during the No. 4 era... i think its about how scott felt during his divorce with his first wife
@ChainsandPilots this song was on a demo album when they were still called ''Mighty Joe Young''.

First of all about the song lyrics. I think the correct lyric should be "... Must be a fool to think IT could..."
As for the song itself, it's really awesome, maybe one of the best and least appreciated by STP. I think lyrically it might have borrowed somewhat from "the fool on the hill" by the Beatles, at least it's quite similar in feeling. And it was actually recorded during the Shangri-La Dee Da sessions somewhere in 2001.
