Whose Fool I Want To Be
Recorded by Gene Watson 
Written by Gene Nelson and Paul Nelson

C             F               G7             C
Not a word is spoken as she's puttin' on her makeup
  F                  G7           C
I smell that perfume and it takes me 
     Dm                             G7
To a time when she wore it just for me
        C              F                G7
Knowing her she thinks I'll hang around here 
     C
Till she gets home
    F              G7         Em
She thinks I don't mind being here alone
    Dm                  G7              C
She finds her purse and fumbles for her keys
 
 
She doesn't know (she don't know) 
F                     G7             C
Across town there's a lady I've been seeing
       F                   G7              C
And on certain nights when all my fears is human
          Dm                          G7
When that lonely one feels like using me
        C               F               G7             C
I could go (and go) and no she wouldn't want me once I had her
        F               G7               Em
I could sit up and wait for the one that matters
            Dm              G7           C
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
 
      F        G7                          C
But I love the one that just pulled off my ring
      F                G7             C
But I need the one who doesn't mean a thing
    F G7                  E7    Am    C
And I   don't wanna be no one’s mistake
D7                            G7
Knowing I'll be losing either way
 
        C         F                 G7              C
The telephone and silence waits for me to make that call
        F               G7                 Em
But our wedding picture hangs there on the wall
        Dm                          G7
Looking down on what every fool can see
            Dm              G7           C
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
 
            Dm              G7           C
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
