Lyrics: Nelson. From The Word Go.

I was a fool from the word go

"Go on and go", I had to say
"Don't let the screen door hit you as you walk away
Go ahead and make your brand new life
I won't lose any sleep without you in mine"

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go

"Go on and take our pictures down off the wall
(Off the, off the, off the wall)
And pack up your cat-I won't miss that at all
Well, go ahead and take the dreams that we shared
You never look back-well, see if I care"

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go

"So go on and go", I heard myself say
In a moment of pride my world slipped away

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was fool from the word go
From the word go
