Rick Springfield - What Kind Of Fool Am I Lyrics






I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things
She used to do with me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving someone else
And I can't think why we ever let go
We must have been crazy
Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I, To lose you
She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby she could love
And she loved me like nobody
Ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtains fell
And the lights came up
But the gods or whatever
Make the world go 'round
Shuffled when they should've cut
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
To just let go, To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you
Did it come to easy to the two of us
Did we go to wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
To just let go, To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
Oh baby please, Oh baby please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we can work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

    So beautiful. One of my absolute favorite videosbof Rick Springfield's. And yes, that is Rick's beautiful wife Barbara playing his love interest.

    K.... F....

    Karey-Anne Foster No, it's not his wife. She was only in one video, "Don't Walk Away." It's was also the only video in which he actually kissed the girl. The rest, we're hugs, or a dance.

    K.... F....

    She was the girl in uniform at the airport gate.

  51. L.... V....

    LOVE ALL HIS SONGS..... THE 80"S WERE SO FUN!!!!!

    God, I forgot how he moved in this video. Sexy beast.

    B.... ....

    he is always sexy😜

    B.... ....

    Have always loved the way he moves when he plays.... THUD.

  63. Z.... S....

    He so awesome!!

  64. s.... ....

    I was a fool so many damn times I can't count! LOL! Live and learn I guess.

    s.... ....

    Right there with ya

  65. S.... C....

    Another song that hits home....Jessie's Girl, lived that, GOT "Jessie's" girl and then stupidly let her go..."What Kind of Fool Am I???" What's the old saying, life imitating art? When does the pain go away.......

    S.... C....

    I stupidly listened to everyone around me, instead of listening to my heart. By the time I realized how idiotic I was, it was too late. She moved away and, until recently, I lost track of her.

    S.... C....

    +Blue Box then you need to tell her how you feel . Even if it's too late .. It may give you some piece of mind . The things that haunt us most in life is the words we never say .

    S.... C....

    Very true words. I have been debating that for a long time. I just don't think I have the right to potentially disrupt her life for my feelings. Even now, I want her to be happy. When I think of contacting her, I think of Christina Perri's song, Jar of Hearts. Sheila, thank you for conversing with me on this.

    S.... C....

    +Blue Box please stop listening to the war going on between your heart and your head . And If you don't know what to do ...then think about it this way .. Your heart doesn't lie... no matter how much you want it to . Tell her

    S.... C....

    Thank you. You are correct, no matter how much I try to rationalize my position, the feeling NEVER goes away. I've had no one to talk to about this for years. My sincere thanks, I really appreciate you talking to me.

  66. l.... m....

    great song after all these years

  67. C.... J....

    Rick still hot hot 😆😆😆😆

  68. T.... S....

    Two days straight I've awakened to this song in my head... It's July 25, 2016! LOL

    T.... S....

    Its now Feb 2017, and its still Awesome!

    T.... S....

    I still think this is probably one of Rick's best work, musically, lyrically, and cinematically (great song, video, MTV memories).

    T.... S....

    weird cause this morn i did so has well,, a haunting song in a great way.

    T.... S....

    It is now 13 February 2019 and I had this song in my head for two days too! Out of nowhere.

  69. J.... O....

    Still a tearjerker after all these years ...

  70. M.... M....

    I Am blind I know, you look soo Different, How long can I be wrong ?

  71. M.... K....

    Amazing song....

  72. X.... H....

    Beautiful catchy (and overlooked) 80s hit. Rick was such a good looking guy, I can totally see why girls thought he was so hot back then!

    X.... H....

    I can feel the pain of this song when you lose a girl that you had once loved.

  81. C.... D....

    Song for NM!

  82. R.... W....

    I wonder who she's seeing tonight
    Is she really going out with him
    He's not her type
    And doing all the things she used to do to me
    Well, I'd say something to her
    But I get so jealous
    When I think of her loving somebody else
    That I can't think why we ever let go
    I must have been crazy

    Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To just let go,
    To just let go like that
    What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To lose you

    She was cold sometimes
    But she made me feel alive
    She was such a spoiled baby
    But baby, she could love
    And she loved me like nobody ever will again
    I thought we'd be together
    When the world ran down
    When the curtain fell and the lights came up
    But the Gods or whatever make the world go round
    Shuffled when they should have cut

    Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To just let go,
    To just let go like that
    What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To lose you

    Did it come too easy to the two of us
    Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
    Were we too busy checking out the left hand
    That we didn't see the right

    Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To just let go,
    To just let go like that
    What Kind Of Fool Am I

    Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
    I meant to say in time
    Baby we could work it out
    But I never meant to say goodbye

    Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
    What Kind Of Fool Am I
    What Kind Of Fool Am I
    To lose you

  83. M.... J....

    Oh the 80's memories!! Sob sob sob ... I remember 31 years ago by this song.. I miss those youth times of mine.

  84. y.... k....

  94. R.... ....

    Six straight weeks at #21. Back in 1982, it was not uncommon for songs to hold on to the same chart position for so many weeks ("Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac spent seven weeks at #4; "Waiting For a Girl Like You" was at #2 for a record ten weeks.)
