Fool Inside of Me (with Diane Sherrill)

by David Allan Coe

Lyrics
I let you see a side of me that I could not control
That wicked side I tried to hide inside my tortured soul

I tell myself the time has come to end this misery
That I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me

No, I can't lie and say I wish I'd never seen your face
No, I can't lie and say nobody else could take your place
I could pretend you're just a friend in need of sympathy
But I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me
Oh well

A passing glance, a warm hello, soon tore down the wall
And let you pick me up enough to have a place to fall
I wish that I could say you tried to love me faithfully
But I can't lie to satisfy the fool inside of me

No, I can't lie to satisfy this fool inside of me
