Look at that fool going home to his wife
Look at that fool, he never lays out all night
He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue
Wish that I could have been that kind of fool

Look at that fool have one drink, now he’s heading home
Look at that fool leaving that beautiful lady all alone
Then go home to someone who loves him true
Wish old Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

But I've tried, I can't do it darling
Not even for you
Woman, it's not that Jerry Lee don't love you
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool heading home to his wife
Look at that fool, he never stays out drunk all night
He doesn't know what it's like to be untrue
Wish that I could have been that kind of fool

But I've tried, I can't do it darling
Not even one for you
Woman, it's not that Jerry Lee don't love you
But there's just some things I can't do

Look at that fool have one drink, now he’s heading home
Look at that fool, he's leaving that woman all alone
Then go home to someone who loves him true
Wish that I could have been that kind of fool

Lord I wish Jerry Lee could have been that kind of fool

Got the feeling, Jerry
Killer, I think we've got it
