Lyrics
VERSE
There was a time when I let that man walk through my door
I was a fool back then; now I'm almost thinkin' no one gets in
Here's another someone callin,' seein' how he might walk my floor
But I don't think so; on second thought, that's a definite "no"
CHORUS
('Cause) No fool lives here anymore
And everyone knows I live here all by myself
No, no, no fool lives here anymore
It may have taken me awhile, and I don't blame anybody else
But now it's good, so good, that no fool lives here anymore
VERSE
He could be someone new or maybe someone's brother
Someone from work; someone I just met, I don't really care
All I know is I was well raised by my wonderful mother
Who'll say she was a fool for allowing any fool to breathe her air
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
Now I'm not sayin' there's no man for me
But I am here to say I'm nobody's fool no more
Abbreviated CHORUS
It may have taken me awhile, and I don't blame anybody else
But now it's good, so good, no fool lives here anymore
TAG
Oh, it feels so good I'm no fool anymore
