The Rolling Stones - Fool To Cry
Fool to Cry is a ballad by English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones from their 1976 album Black and Blue.
Recorded in December 1974, the song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It is a slow-paced ballad. Mick Taylor had just left the band and the rest of the Stones were left without a lead guitarist. The recording of Black and Blue acted as a sort of audition for new guitarists, which led to session man Wayne Perkins playing guitar on this track.
Jagger plays electric piano and Nicky Hopkins performs regular piano on the track, with Hopkins also playing the string synthesizer.
Released as the lead single off Black and Blue on 20 April 1976, "Fool to Cry" reached #6 on the UK Singles Charts and #10 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
"Fool to Cry" was the only track from Black and Blue to appear on the Stones' career-spanning greatest hits albums Forty Licks in 2002 and GRRR! in 2012.
A music video was produced to promote the single.
The lyrics:
When I come home baby
And Ive been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
Daddy what's wrong?
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.
You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, tell me all your troubles.
You know what she says? she says
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
She says, daddy you're a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.
She says, daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say
They say, daddy you're a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.
Im a fool baby
Im a fool baby
Im a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
Im a fool baby
Im a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
Im a fool
Im a fool
Im a fool
