Been A Fool Lyrics

Been a fool

I've been a fool
I've stood around and acted oh so cool
I've been unfaithful and betrayed so cruel
Trust that's not easily given

I've been a fool
I had a temper that was not so cool
I lost my mind and broke the golden rule
Things that just can't be forgiven

If I hadn't been this way
Who knows where I might be today?
Please make an example of me
Or do you wanna be alone?
I've been such a fool!

I've been a fool
Back in my face is where my bad deeds came
I know I've only got myself to blame
Not that it makes me feel better

I've been a fool
I had a temper that was not so cool
I've been unfaithful and betrayed so cruel
Followed it through to the letter

If I hadn't been this way
Who knows where I might be today
Please make an example of me
Or do you wanna be alone?

If I hadn't been this way
Who knows where I might be today
Please make an example of me
Or do you wanna be alone?
I've been such a fool!

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.
