Call Me A Fool lyrics:

Call me a fool
Call me a fool
A heart forlorn
A heart that’s scorned
A new love born

Thought I had it under control
But it shook me, gripped me, grabbed my soul
Heard it pounding, knocking on the door
When I knew I had to let it go
Don’t you know I wish that I could help it
Don’t you know I wish that I could forget
But this new love is so strong that
It’s a power keeps me holding on

Yeah all me a fool
Darlin' they call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you

I’ve been wishing things had been different
But I guess the cards, they fall the way they're meant
Win or lose or draw you play the hand you’re sent
Beggar, Borrower, Given, Taken, Lent
I’ve been drinking, staying drunk all day
Got me creeping, but it’s not late at night
Got my life twisted, turned it upside down
Just a fool to hang around

So they call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you

You can call me a fool
Call me a fool
For your love Baby
And I’ll be a fool any time
I’ll be a fool any time for loving you
Thought I had it under control

Valerie June official bio:

Blending folk, soul, blues, and traditional Appalachian elements into a refreshingly timeless sound that sits outside any particular musical era, Valerie June is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who began her career in Memphis. She received early attention for a pair of independent releases and her participation in the MTV series $5 Cover, but it was her Dan Auerbach-produced third album, Pushin' Against A Stone, that served as her critical and commercial breakthrough. With a significant audience in Europe as well as the U.S., June's ascent continued with her highly rated The Order Of Time, another critically lauded release showcasing her increasingly distinctive sound. Her fifth album, 2021's The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers, featured a guest spot from Memphis soul legend Carla Thomas.

The daughter of a brick cleaner from Humboldt in the flatlands of West Tennessee, June quickly took to the local roots music styles in the area, teaching herself guitar and developing her own stylistic mix, interpreting traditional material as though it were still alive and breathing, and writing her own material with an eye toward the influences of socially minded artists like Bob Marley. She officially began performing at the age of 19 as half of the husband-and-wife duo Bella Sun (the couple released an album, No Crystal Stair, in 2004 on their own Bella Sun Music imprint), but when the marriage fell apart, June left the South and began living the life of a gypsy street musician, playing for change in bus and subway stations up and down the West Coast. She eventually returned to Tennessee, finally settling in Memphis where she slid right into the city's active music scene. By now she had added banjo and lap steel to her musical base, and she began to draw local attention for her powerful performances, becoming a favorite at area folk festivals and workshops.
