03 She Suffers The Fool

Maryanne was a straight A student
With a head full of plans and dreams
Heart as big as Mother Theresa
And eyes of a homecoming queen
Billy Joe baker was a mean trouble maker
But he looked just like James Dean
He was out to get her and she shoulda known better
Now she’s keepin his trailer clean

Yeah she suffers the fool but the fool don’t suffer
In fact he’s doin’ alright
Shootin’ pool with his lowlife buddies
And stayin’ out all night
It hurts her so but she can’t let go
She’s the only one that doesn’t know
This basic truth, simple rule
Sad to say and it might sound cruel
The fool don’t suffer
Long as she suffers the fool.

Now Billy Joe ain’t the kind of fella
You could rely upon
If you need a friend in deed
You can count old Billy gone
When he’s around it just brings her down
Why then can’t she see
How that boy’s lost and she’d be better off
With a gentleman like me

Yeah she suffers the fool but the fool don’t suffer
In fact he’s doin’ alright
Shootin’ pool with his lowlife buddies
And stayin’ out all night
It hurts her so but she can’t let go
She’s the only one that doesn’t know
This basic truth, simple rule
Sad to say and it might sound cruel
The fool don’t suffer
Long as she suffers the fool.

Its like a lovers curse and what makes it worse is
She’s not the only one it really hurts

Basic truth, simple rule
Sad to say and it might sound crule
But this fool’s gonna suffer
Long as she suffers the fool
Yeah this fool is gonna suffer
Long as she suffers the fool
