(Dolly Parton) You make me act like a fool

You treat me mean and cold and cruel

You make me do things that I hate to do

Why do you make me act like a fool? Now that you know just how much I care

You treat me mean and it ain't right nor fair

I keep holdin' on though I don't know what to

While you make me act like a fool You know just how to hurt me and you often do

When we're out in publib I start fightin' with you

You start trouble in private when nobody knows

Oh, then you go away smellin' just like a rose Though you make me act like a fool

You treat me mean cold and cruel

You make me do things that I hate to do

Oh, why must you make me act like a fool? You know just how to hurt me as you often do

You start flirtin' in public with somebody new

You start trouble in private when nobody knows

Oh then you go away smellin' just like a rose Though you make me act like a fool

You treat mean and cold and cruel

You make me do things that I hate to do

Oh but why do you make, oh why do I let you

Make me look like a fool?
