Lyrics

Verse 1

STOLE HER FROM A FOOL,
He never knew what love could do
Didn't know all that he had,
Made that woman feel so bad
Thought he really had it made,
When all along he couldn't make the grade
He was so sure, he'd take the bet,
He never knew, doesn't know yet

Verse 2

For years and years I watched in vain,
So hard to watch that womans pain
He'd play around and do his dance,
I'd just lay back and wait my chance
He thought he had so much to prove,
There'd come a time, I'd make my move
I'll bet there's times he'd scratch his head,
Cause, I got his woman in my bed

Bridge 1

I'll treat that woman like a queen,
Make her body move, gonna make her scream
You know he never had a clue,
When you love a woman, what she'll do for you
We fit together like a glove,
Our bodies move, the dance of love
I'll swear to her I'll treat her right,
Be in the groove all through the night (INST)

Bridge 2

There came a time, he had to pay,
She let him know it's judgement day
Treated her bad and that's not cool,
But, I got her now and I ain't no fool
You know, I've waited half my life,
For a woman like you to be my wife
This ain't no "Mercury Blues", my friend,
He won't get lucky and steal her back again

Verse 3

You guys all think you got it made,
You'll step around, you're not afraid
You think she'll look the other way,
Where can she go, she'll have to stay
But, when you finally get a clue,
You ain't so smart, it's too late for you
There's guys like me who'll treat her nice,
I was a fool, I won't be one twice
There's guys like me who'll treat her nice,
I was that fool, I won't be one twice, no

Outro

STOLE HER FROM A FOOL, I was a fool no more
STOLE HER FROM A FOOL, I won't be that fool no more
STOLE HER FROM A FOOL, oh yeah, I want to treat her nice
STOLE HER FROM A FOOL, I had to make my move
