La Toya Jackson - How Do I Tell Them lyrics

rate me

(Gary Goetzman/Mike Piccirillo)

Some girls never learn

Like me, for instance

Everybody's talkin', they all want to know

Why have I been spendin' all this time alone

Do I say he joined the Army

Was lost in Katmandu

I've got to find a story

That's better than the truth

(Chorus)

How do I tell them

I was just a fool for love

How do I tell them

I was just a fool for love

How do I tell them

I was just a fool for love

How do I tell them

Fool for love

They all tried to warn me

But I couldn't see

I was busy laughin'

Now the joke's on me

I said he was the real thing

They told me, "Don't get stung"

What I thought was forever

Was him just havin' fun

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

How do I tell them

It's so embarrassing

How do I tell them

I gave everything I had

How do I tell them

They said I'd never change him

How do I tell them

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I said he was the real thing

They told me, "Don't get stung"

What I thought was forever

Was him just havin' fun
